USF erases a 20-point second-half deficit to stun No. 10 Memphis

College basketball's week of upsets is overflowing into this week, and No. 10 Memphis is the latest victim.

The Tigers were stunned at home Thursday by unranked USF, which erased a 20-point deficit in the second half to score their first win over a ranked team since 2012. The Bulls had lost 37 straight such games before Thursday, per Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay Sports.

USF entered Thursday ranked 141st in the country in NET rating. Their record is now 10-5.

Memphis went up 52-32 a little over a minute into the second half, then went through a prolonged offensive slump as USF started chipping away.
