Free-throw woes killing Bulls, again

West Virginia has pulled out to its largest lead of game, ahead 56-45 with 3:10 to play, and missed free throws are again a big reason why USF is falling behind late in a close game.

Since the eight-minute mark, the Bulls have gone 2-for-6 at the line, including two missed front ends by center Kentrell Gransberry. For the game, USF is 3-for-11 -- that's 27 percent -- while West Virginia is 10-for-12.

West Virginia is on a 12-2 run since USF pulled within 44-43 with about seven minutes to play. Freshman guard Dominique Jones, who led USF with 11 points in the first half, has been nowhere to be found, held scoreless with only one shot in the second half.
