Despite their offensive struggles, the Shockers trailed by only seven points at the break. USF faced similar struggles and shot 33% from the field in the first half.
Interim Head Coach Isaac Brown said that the seven-point halftime deficit instilled some hope for the team.
“We told them at halftime, we hadn’t played Shocker basketball and we’re only down seven,” Interim Head Coach Isaac Brown said.
