Houston dropped its third consecutive contest, a 80-51 loss against No. 18 USF, in a tough American Athletic Conference road matchup on Saturday.
Right out of the gates, the Bulls put up points on the board with a 3-pointer, but the Cougars responded with an and-one basket from senior guard Julia Blackshell-Fair, who finished with 10 points.
From there, USF took a quick 13-5 lead off of a couple Cougars turnovers. While both teams finished with plenty of giveaways, the Bulls separated themselves with 21 second-chance points. The Cougars had only eight.
One of UH’s second-chance baskets came from sophomore forward Jazmaine Lewis.
