In one of his best performances in his young career at USF, Murphy was effective at producing some big-time offensive plays in the first half as the Bulls powered to a 13-point advantage over Wichita State during the first 20 minutes of play. He will look to lead a bounce back performance for the Bulls as USF travels to Memphis on December 29th.

Returning back into her weekly accolades, USF women’s basketball guard Sydni Harvey put on a show against Cincinnati to keep the Bulls undefeated in conference play, and earned herself a spot on the weekly honor roll.

Harvey was responsible for a season-high 21 points, thanks to 5-of-11 shooting beyond the three-point line to go along with her two rebounds as USF moved past Cincinnati 73-61. Harvey and company will look to continue their momentum as they travel to Tulsa on December 30th.
