In the first half of one of the toughest two-game stretches any team in the country will face this season, the Cincinnati Bearcats were routed 72-52 by No. 20 USF on the road Wednesday night.
Ana Owens scored 11 points and handed out eight assists, but she needed 17 shots to get to that point total. Shanice Johnson also struggled to find an offensive rhythm, scoring eight points on 3-of-11 shooting while turning the ball over five times. UC (14-8, 5-4 American Athletic Conference) connected on only 33.3 percent of its shots from the floor although seven players scored at least five points.
