PROVIDENCE, R.I. - University of Cincinnati senior guard Kahla Roudebush (Noblesville, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the third time in five weeks, the conference announced Monday (Feb. 8).
Roudebush notched the third double-double of her career and narrowly missed a triple-double in the Bearcats' overtime win at Louisville on Feb. 2. She scored 19 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and dished out a career-high 10 assists in leading Cincinnati to a 74-68 victory.
The senior calmly knocked down a pair of free throws to tie the game with under a minute to play in regulation and send it to overtime. She added four points in overtime, including the go-ahead bucket on UC's first possession to help lead the Bearcats past rival Louisville, snapping a six-game losing streak against the Cardinals.
Roudebush played a season-high 42 minutes against Louisville, and has now played 40 minutes in seven of the last 10 contests. She currently ranks fifth in the BIG EAST in minutes played, averaging 36.2.
A preseason all-BIG EAST selection, Roudebush has been hot since the start of conference play, averaging 16.0 points per game, while shooting .425 (45-of-106) from the floor, .442 (19-of-43) from three, and .814 (35-of-43) from the free throw stripe. She is averaging 39.7 minutes per game in BIG EAST play, playing in 357 of a possible 365 minutes for the Bearcats.
She previously earned Honor Roll mentions on Jan. 11 and Jan. 25, and has garnered mention every other week since conference play began.
Cincinnati (10-11 overall, 3-6 BIG EAST) continues conference play as it hosts No. 3 Notre Dame on Tuesday Feb. 9. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET.
