Box Score

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Jonathan Kale scored 15 points and Marshon Brooks added 14 to help Providence snap a three-game losing streak with a 77-62 victory over South Florida on Tuesday night.

Friar junior guard Sharaud Curry scored 11 points to become the fifth player on the current roster to score 1,000 points. Providence is the only team in the nation with five 1,000 point scorers on the roster.

Randall Hanke also scored 14 for the Friars (15-9, 7-5 Big East), whose reserves outscored USF's bench 35-6. Brooks did much of the damage after sitting out last Saturday's lopsided loss at West Virginia with a sprained ankle.

Dominique Jones led USF (8-15, 3-8) with 29 points and eight rebounds. Chris Howard scored 12 for the Bulls, who upset then-No. 8 Marquette 57-56 last Friday for their first-ever victory over an opponent ranked in the Top 10.
