TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â Jarron Cumberland scored 18 points and No. 14 Cincinnati shrugged off a slow start to beat South Florida 78-55 on Saturday night.
Jacob Evans III had 16 points and eclipsed 1,000 points for his career while Kyle Washington added 14 to help the Bearcats (15-2, 4-0) remain unbeaten in American Athletic Conference play.
The victory was the eighth straight for Cincinnati, which shot 70 percent (14 of 20) while outscoring the Bulls 43-22 in the second half.
USF (7-11, 0-5) has lost six in a row, remaining winless in the AAC, where it has been beaten by an average of nearly 25 points per game.
Payton Banks led the Bulls with 22 points.
Cincinnati closed the opening half on a 24-12 run, turning a 10-point deficit into a 35-33 lead. That was as close as the score would be the rest of the way, with the Bearcats methodically building a double-digit lead of their own.
USF shot 57 percent in the first half, including four of five 3-pointers, but was outscored 17-5 from the foul line. The Bulls missed 11 of their first 16 shots coming out of the break and trailed by as many as 24 down the stretch.
Gary Clark finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for Cincinnati. It marked his 23rd career double-double, tying him with Yancy Gates for the most in the Mick Cronin Era.
