USF men's hoops 4-1 after beating UNC-W

USF's men's basketball finished a solid showing in the Charleston Classic with a 74-66 win against UNC-Wilmington on Sunday, giving the Bulls a 4-1 record as they return to Tampa.

Junior guard Dominique Jones had 28 points, including 10 during a key 12-1 run after the Seahawks had cut USF's lead to 52-51 with nine minutes to play. Jarrid Famous added 13 points, and Gus Gilchrist overcame a slow start to finish with 14. Here is the boxscore from ESPN.com.

With a 4-1 record, the Bulls have matched their best five-game start since 2001-02, the last time the Bulls played in the postseason in the NIT. The Bulls, who also beat Davidson and lost to South Carolina while in Charleston, next play Wednesday night in the Sun Dome against Kent State, the school that gave Stan Heath his first job as a head coach.
