This past Sunday the UC men’s basketball team won its first conference road game of the season against Central Florida, pulling out a 56-46 victory. 
Kevin Johnson led UC with 13 points. UC led by five at halftime and by eight after Johnson’s 3-pointer with 14:31 left in the second half.
Troy Caupain stopped a UCF run with a driving layup down the court to increase UC’s lead back to five. Caupain scored again, this time driving the baseline, after UCF got within three.
After Caupain made one of two free throws, Johnson drilled a 3-pointer from the wing to push UC’s lead back to nine at 50-41 with 6:17 to play.
UC did not convert another field goal the rest of the game, but in the closing seconds pulled away on six free throws by Johnson and Caupain.
The Bearcats were next scheduled to play Connecticut on Thursday, January 29, at Fifth Third Bank Arena.
