The Bulls needed just one more bucket to secure the win on Saturday, but they couldn't get it done before the clock hit zeroes and lost 55-54 to UCF. Guard Laquincy Rideau wasn't much of a difference maker for the Bulls and finished with only nine points on 3-for-12 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court. Rideau is averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, so South Florida will be looking for more productivity from him on Tuesday night. Leading scorer David Collins is averaging 14.7 points per game this season.
Meanwhile, Wichita State entered its game against Houston on Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Wichita State took a hard 65-54 fall against Houston. Guard Tyson Etienne (10 points), guard Jamarius Burton (9 points), and forward Jaime Echenique (8 points) were the top scorers for the Shockers. Wichita State's typical eight-man rotation all average at least 5.5 points per game, so they can get a big scoring night from just about anybody on any given night. However, defense is definitely the calling card of Gregg Marshall's squad. The Shockers only allow opponents to shoot 38.8 percent from the floor.
