USF turns back Tulsa ahead of showdown with ranked FAU

TAMPA, Fla. — (AP) Kobe Knox’s 14 points helped USF defeat Tulsa 69-50 on Wednesday night at the Yuengling Center.

Knox shot 4 for 10 (3 for 7 from 3-point range) and 3 of 4 from the free throw line for the Bulls (18-5, 11-1 American Athletic Conference).

Kasean Pryor scored 12 points and added 11 rebounds and five assists. Selton Miguel had 10 points and was 4 of 7 shooting (2 for 3 from 3-point range).

It was the 10th straight conference win for the Bulls, the longest in program history. 

The win sets up an in-state showdown Sunday when no. 24 Florida Atlantic (19-5, 9-2) visits the Yuengling Center for a nationally televised ESPN game against the Bulls. The game is sold out. 

At 11-1, USF is in first place in the conference. Florida Atlantic is tied with Charlotte for second place. 

The Bulls received seven votes in last week’s AP Top 25 poll.
