TAMPA, JAN. 10, 2016 – Short-handed USF embraced the moment and continued to make strides against the top team in the nation before a record crowd of 6,634 at the Sun Dome on Sunday afternoon.
No. 22/18 USF jumped out to a 14-6 lead, trailed by just five at the half and sank 12 3-pointers in a 75-59 loss to No. 1 UConn. The Bulls nearly took the lead back in the third quarter and played efficiently with just eight turnovers despite being without all-conference forward Alisia Jenkins, who missed her second straight game with an injury.
