After missing the loss at Providence on Wednesday due to a back injury, Jarrid Famous returned and scored 14 points in 25 minutes off the bench in USF's 72-49 loss to Syracuse. Toarlyn Fitzpatrick was the only other Bull to reach double figures with 10 points.
Augustus Gilchrist made just 2-for-10 from the field, putting some pressure on Famous to contribute even more on Saturday, and that proved to be too much for USF against a more talented Syracuse squad. Back injuries can linger, meaning that this may not be the end of the issue for Famous. But the hope is that he'll be fine for the rest of the season.
