Team Notes
- USF recognized the career accomplishments of four seniors prior to the game, including Chris Howard, Ryan Kardok, Mike Mercer and Alex Rivas, by presenting them with framed jerseys.

- Bulls fans flocked to the Sun Dome in record numbers as 8,317 people came to watch USF in the final home game of the season. The previous season attendance high was 6,607 against Cincinnati on Feb. 16, 2010. The 8,317 is the most since 8,350 came out for the USF-Syracuse game on Jan. 2, 2009.

- Those fans saw USF win its third game in a row while UConn dropped its third straight. Before this season, USF had never won two BIG EAST games in a row, but this year the Bulls have won four straight and now three straight.

- USF defeated UConn for the first time in school history, after the Huskies had won the previous seven meetings. USF also defeated Providence this year for the first time, as Villanova now stands as the only BIG EAST team the Bulls have never beaten in 39 seasons.

- USF allowed just one player to score in double figures in Kemba Walker, who posted 18, the only game this year an opponent failed to have two or more players score in double figures.

- USF hit 17-of-21 free throws for an 81 percent clip. Dominique Jones led the way with his 6-of-7 performance. It marks the fourth time this year USF has hit for 80 percent or better from the line.

- The Bulls also hit 50.9 percent from the floor, the seventh time this season the Bulls have hit 50 percent or better in a game.

- USF, which has struggled shooting the 3 in recent games, hit 4-of-6 against the Huskies. USF has hit 40 percent or better just three times in BIG EAST games.

Individual Notes
- Senior Chris Howard hit a pair of long balls, the first time he has hit multiple threes in a game since hitting two at Notre Dame on Feb. 7. 

- Howard recorded five assists, the most since his five against St. John's on Feb. 20, as he now stands just five away from tying Tommy Tonelli for fourth all-time in assists.

- Sophomore Augustus Gilchrist knocked down a pair of threes in the game, his first multiple three-pointer game since he had two on Nov. 27 against FAU.

- Gilchrist scored in double-digits for the third-straight game and fourth time in his last six games with his 17-point performance.

- Senior Mike Mercer grabbed a game-high eight rebounds, the third-straight game he has pulled down seven or more rebounds.

- Mercer scored 12 points to record double-digit points in five of his last six games.

- With a tip-in at the 3:33 mark, Dominique Jones scored his fifth and sixth points of the game to move into third on the USF single season points list. Jones started the game with 620 this season, passed Charlie Bradley's 625 (1983-84), and now trails Bradley's second-place 652 (1984-85). Jones currently has 640 points this season.

- Jones also hit 6-of-7 free throws, as he needs just two more to pass Bradley for the most made in a season. Jones has 188, while Bradley has owned the top mark since 1982-83 when he sank 189 on the year.

- Jones recorded his 39th 20-point game of his career by scoring 20 against UConn.
