I can’t imagine USF coach Stan Heath drawing it up any better than that.

USF came out aggressively on both the offensive and defensive ends to take command early against DePaul.

The Bulls led by as many as 19 points and take a 30-15 lead into halftime here at Madison Square Garden.

At one point late in the half, USF’s Dominique Jones had 14 points, DePaul 13.

Jones has been racking up most of his points in the open court thanks to the Bulls’ defense.

Jarrid Famous and Toarlyn Fitzpatrick have both given DePaul trouble inside defensively, and guards Chris Howard and Mike Mercer are playing well with Jones.

Check back soon for a second-half update.
