Box Score HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky.—Thirteen players scored as the Christian Brothers University Bucs routed Cincinnati-Clermont 84-44 Saturday night in the John L. Griffin/Lions Club Classic at Northern Kentucky University's Bank of Kentucky Center.

The Bucs (4-1) opened the game with a 24-3 run in the first 7:18 and never allowed the Cougars (2-2) to come closer than 15 points the rest of the way.

A game after shooting a frigid 26.1 percent in a 51-44 loss to Northern Kentucky, the Bucs shot 52.7 percent (29-of-55) from the floor and 45.8 percent (11-of-24) from three-point range.  CBU was 17-of-25 in the first half.  The Bucs also out-rebounded UCC 41-29 and forced 15 turnovers while committing 12.
