BullsInsider.com covered the game and here is our Instant Analysis:
IT WAS OVER WHEN: Karnik scored on a dunk following a turnover by USF freshman point guard Trey Moss. Karnik’s dunk made it 57-44 with 2:53 left in the game.
HE STOLE THE SHOW: Karnik was very efficient tonight. His points came on 5-of-9 shooting, including 2-of-3 beyond the arc. He pulled down four OREB, had a steal and just one turnover in 22 minutes of action.
THE STAT DOESN’T LIE: USF had 15 OREB but just 4 second chance points.
THE BOTTOM LINE: USF played well enough defensively to win but not well enough offensively. Which has been a recurring theme in the team’s three losses this season. Up next for the Bulls is South Carolina State on Friday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. in the Yuengling Center.
