USF has started to find its offensive touch, but the Bulls haven't been able to stop Syracuse enough to cut into the Orange lead -- Syracuse leads 47-35 with 11:49 remaining in the Sun Dome.
Center B.J. Ajayi continues to have a strong night -- he has a career-high 14 points on 7-for-8 shooting. Unfortunately, the rest of the Bulls are 8-for-36, with guards Dominique Jones and Jesus Verdejo a combined 4-for-21. Jones did hit a 3-pointer to open the second half, but the Bulls are 1-for-15 beyond the arc.
Another reason the Bulls are still in it: Syracuse's Arinze Onuaku is 1-for-9 on free throws tonight, spoiling an otherwise dominating game. He has a team-high 13 points and 11 rebounds ...
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
If we get a score here it will be a game
