IT WAS OVER WHEN: Frank Bertz made two free throws with 1:49 left in regulation to give UCF a 69-58 lead.

HE STOLE THE SHOW: Fall made 6-of-10 FG, 6-of-8 free throws – he came into the game making only 34.5 percent of his free throws – Fall grabbed five rebounds and altered at least a half dozen shots.

THE STAT DOESN’T LIE: Points in the paint. When you have a 7-foot-6 rim protector you expect to win the points in the paint category and tonight was no different for UCF as they outscored USF 38-20.

WHAT A PLAY: It was super early – just nine seconds into the game – but Yetna saved a loose ball near the corner. Before he fell into the USF bench, Yetna somehow flipped the ball behind his back to a teammate that led to a transition layup by Laquincy Rideau and the first points of the game.

THE BOTTOM LINE: USF loses its eighth straight game to UCF and have not defeated the Knights since March 4, 2015. The Bulls fall to 18-10 overall (7-8 ACC), and will now prepare for back-to-back road games at Connecticut (Sunday) and Tulane (Wednesday) before coming home to host SMU on Sunday, March 10 for senior night.
