The USF Bulls, 7-5, led the Cleveland State Vikings (10-2) at half time by just a few points, but turned on the jets in the second half as they cruised to a big win for the team. The Bulls shot 46% from the floor on the night and were 19 out of 22 (86%) from the free throw line, improving their shooting stroke and taking care of the ball during the game.
The defense came out to play in this game for the Bulls, forcing 14 turnovers, getting 5 steals, and blocking 7 shots on the night as the Bulls played as aggressive as I have seen all year.
Toarlyn Fitzpatrick had 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots as he continues to play well. Ron Anderson Jr. had 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. Augustus Gilchrist had 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Gilchrist was quiet in the first half, but played his heart out on defense, coming away with blocks and altering shots all night. Victor Rudd had 2 points off the bench, Blake Nash had 2 points and 2 assists, and Hugh Robertson had 6 points and 2 rebounds. Shaun Noriega had 2 points and a steal and Anthony Collins had another huge night, scoring 11 points, making 6 assists, 3 steals, and pulling down 3 rebounds.
The real story of the night was the return of JAWANZA Poland who missed the first part of the season due to injury and a 2-game suspension. He was rusty in the first half, but showed up big in the second period, scoring 13 points (3 of 4 from 3-point range) and had 5 rebounds. His biggest play of the night was this monster slam (JAWANZA!). Thanks to V5 and @bubbaprog for putting this classic together.
This was a much needed win for the Bulls after their offense thud game against Auburn. They are 7-5 and face one more non-conference foe, Southern Miss, on Thursday night on the road. The Bulls really need to win the next game as they prepare to host UCONN after the Christmas break.
