No. 8/7 Houston 82, USF 65 - Box Score

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Quentin Grimes had 29 points and No. 8 Houston beat USF 82-65 on Wednesday night, spoiling the Bulls’ first game in 32 days because of coronavirus interruptions.

Tied at 25 at the eight-minute mark, the Cougars (17-2, 11-2 American Athletic) shot 58% in the first half and led 43-35 at halftime.

“We’ve seen Quentin get into these grooves and we know to just let him go,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. “Our guys know to feed a guy if he’s feeling it. That was fun to watch. It was really good basketball.”

DeJon Jarreau scored 13 of his 17 points in the first half and also had eight assists.

“The key to playing good on the road is point guard play and DeJon was doing a great job of finding Quentin,” Sampson said. “Marcus (Sasser) didn’t shoot well tonight, but he had seven assists and no turnovers.”

Houston pushed the pace in the second half and outscored USF 29-8 in the first 9:18 of the half to take a 72-44 lead. USF (7-6, 3-4) got as close at 76-61 with 6:01 remaining, but did not hit another field goal.

“I didn’t think our defense in the first ten minutes was where we needed it to be, but coming out for the second half from tip to 12 minutes we were able to create a lot,” Sampson said. “We wanted to create opportunities and we had 21 fast break points

Justin Gorham added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Cougars.

David Collins led South Florida with 18 points and five rebounds. Michael Durr had 14 points and seven rebounds.

“We need some practice time to work on our execution and timing on offense,” USF coach Brian Gregory said. “Such rapid games, such limited time because of everything being condensed. We’ve got to take 4-5 things from today and emphasize those to work on.”
