Road win: Bulls beat DePaul 80-58

JANUARY 10, 2009

After just one road win in its first three seasons in the Big East, USF got a convincing win in its Big East road opener, winning 80-58 at DePaul on Saturday.

Junior point guard Chris Howard had a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists, and sophomore guard Dominique Jones led four Bulls in double figures with 22 points. Freshman forward Gus Gilchrist had a season-high 16 points and senior guard Jesus Verdejo had 18 points. The Bulls had their best free-throw shooting game of the season, connecting on 13 of 15 attempts.

The 22-point margin makes it USF's second most lopsided Big East, trumped only by last year's 23-point win against Rutgers.

We'll have more soon from our writer covering the game in Chicago, but for now, here's a link to DePaul's live stats to see the boxscore.
