Individual Notes

- After hitting two free throws in the first half, junior guard Dominique Jones moved into third on USF's all-time free throws made list. With four in the game, he now has made 329 free throws in his career, passing Terrence Leather's 326. He now trails Altron Jackson's 335 to move into second all time.

- Senior guard Chris Howard hit a three with less than 13 minutes left in the second half for the Bulls' first long ball of the day. USF was 0-8 before Howard knocked down the trey as the shot clock expired. USF has hit at least one three in every game since the Bulls were held without a long ball on March 3, 2004 against UAB. USF finished the game just 3-of-18.

- Howard posted a season-high 16 points, three off his career high of 19, and added his fourth career double-double with 10 rebounds, but his first with points and rebounds. Howard also posted 10 rebounds for the first time in his career, two more than his previous high of eight. 

- Jones has scored at least 16 points 13 times this season and 20 or more points on 10 occasions. Jones posted 20 or more points for the fifth-straight game, the first time ever he has accomplished that feat at USF. He is averaging 25 points per game over the last five contests. He is shooting 47.1 percent during that time with 6.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
