TAMPA - University of South Florida junior forward Augustus Gilchrist was named to the BIG EAST Conference Weekly Honor Roll for the week ending on Feb. 27.
Gilchrist posted 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds in USF's first road victory of the season, an 86-76 win at DePaul on Feb. 26.
The native of Clinton, Md., was 9-of-14 from the floor and hit a three to go along with his 13-of-15 shooting at the line. He also tallied two assists and a steal in the win.
He is the first Bull not named Dominique Jones to score 30 points in a game since senior James Holmes netted 35 points on Jan. 20, 2006.
The game at DePaul was also Gilchrist's sixth 20-plus point performance of the season and 12th of his career. He has scored at least 10 points in all but seven games this season.
Gilchrist leads the Bulls with his 13.0 points per game and is second on the squad with 6.3 rebounds per night. He is hitting 44.4 percent of his shots (122-275) and has 19 blocked shots in 20 games.
Catch Gilchrist and the Bulls in action on Wednesday, when USF faces off against No. 4/5 Pitt at 9 p.m. in the Sun Dome.
