USF women vs. UCF

When/where: 4; CFE Arena, Orlando

Radio: 1010-AM

Records: USF 23-5, 14-2 AAC; UCF 9-18, 5-11

Notable: This rivalry contest would have the makings of a trap game for USF if the series weren't so one-sided. The Bulls, who host top-ranked UConn on Monday, topped the Knights by 23 on Feb. 3 and have won the last 16 meetings dating to 1981. USF is tied for first nationally (with four other schools) in defensive rebounds per game (31). With 23 points, junior SG Courtney Williams (20.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg) passes Shantia Grace (593) for third on USF's single-season scoring list. Alisia Jenkins (12.3 ppg, 11.6 rpg) needs two rebounds to supplant Jessica Lawson (327) for third on USF's season ledger.
