Bulls in control, up 39-23 on Northeastern

There's still a little intrigue here at the Sun Dome as to whether either of USF's all-time defensive records can fall against Northeastern. The Bulls lead 39-23 with 7:46 to play, so both are within reasonable range -- the low for points allowed is 34, set by St. Peter's in 1985, and the low for opposing shooting percentage is 23.3 percent, set by FAU in 2005.

Northeastern, buoyed by 23 percent shooting in the second half, is up to 16.7 percent for the game -- another four or five field goals and they'll probably get safely above the FAU mark. The points, too, could come down to the final minute. Guard Matt Janning, who came in averaging 20 points per game, is 0-for-8 tonight with one point.

Dominique Jones has 16 points to lead USF, which is shooting 46.9 percent from the field.
