NASSAU, Bahamas — South Florida (4–4) closed out its trip to Atlantis Resort with an 83–68 setback to Colorado State (6–2) on Friday. The Bulls scored 32 points in the paint and forced 15 turnovers, but the Rams' hot shooting — highlighted by 16 made threes — proved to be the difference.

Adriel Nyorha had career-highs in points (14) and assists (six), while Wes Enis led the Bulls in scoring (21).

South Florida grabbed some momentum early after a fast-break finish from Wes Enis put the Bulls in front by three (9 to 6). The Bulls held the Rams to just six points in the first six minutes. 

Colorado State continued to respond, taking a 33–29 lead into the break. The second half opened with another CSU burst, as Josh Pascarelli caught fire for the Rams, scoring 15 points after halftime and hitting four threes during the run that pushed the margin into double figures. He would finish eight for eight from three and finish with 28 points.

Colorado State knocked down key shots late to keep USF at arm's length and closed out the game with an 83–68 final.
