IT WAS OVER WHEN: When Lang made two free throws with 9:50 left in the second half to give USF a 70-45 lead, it was a wrap. I’m being generous.

HE STOLE THE SHOW: This was a tough one, so for the very first time I’m giving it to two players. Castaneda and Maričević. Castaneda made 5-of-7 shots (2-of-3 beyond the arc), six assists, four rebounds and just one turnover. Maričević made 7-of-9 field goals, had nine rebounds (seven OREB) and one steal.

THE STAT DOESN’T LIE: USF owned the glass by a 56-18 margin – 24-9 on the offensive glass. The dominance on the offensive glass led to 33 second chance points for USF.

THE BOTTOM LINE: USF wins as expected and is now 18-8, 7-6 AAC. David Collins and Laquincy Rideau got some needed rest and several reserves got some valuable playing time to help them get better. Up next USF heads to Texas for a Saturday showdown at No. 9 ranked Houston (25-1, 12-1 AAC).
