The Bulls, meanwhile, fell to 3-17 on the season, 0-7 in conference play and have lost nine straight.

UCF shot 40 percent from the field and connected on 25 attempts from the foul line, while South Florida went just 4-for-11 from the charity stripe. Senior forward Shaheed Davis added 15 points for the Knights -- 10 of which came in the first half -- and he was 6-for-7 from the field.

Junior forward Chris Perry led South Florida with 18 points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Freshman guard Jahmal McMurray added 15 points for the Bulls, who have not won since downing Jacksonville on Dec. 16.
