The South Florida Bulls men’s basketball team took care of business versus Austin Peay 60-51 on Tuesday night inside the Yuengling Center behind Javon Greene’s 14 point, eight rebound performance.
With the Bulls leading by as many as 14 in the second half, the Governors roared back to tie the game at 40 on a three-pointer from forward Tariq Silver with 8:08 left to play. After the Bulls’ last time out where they lost in heartbreaking fashion to South Carolina State, doubts started to creep in that USF could hang on for the win.
USF responded with a 10-0 run sparked by a Caleb Murphy jumper, and punctuated with a Jamir Chaplin breakaway dunk to effectively end the game.
