Selton Miguel scored a career-high 25 points, Chris Youngblood added 23 and American Athletic Conference-leading South Florida won its 11th straight game after nearly blowing a 25-point lead, beating No. 24 Florida Atlantic 90-86 on Sunday. USF (19-5, 12-1 AAC), under first-year coach Amir Abdur-Rahim, is having just its second season with a winning record since 2011-12. “We know that today is not solidifying anything,” Abdur-Rahim said.
Yaxel Lendeborg got goosebumps after his latest rebound-hogging performance against a ranked league rival. Lendeborg had 17 points and a season-high 21 rebounds, and Efrem Johnson made a big 3-pointer in overtime to lift UAB to a 76-73 win over No. 20 Florida Atlantic on Thursday night. It was the Blazers' second victory versus a ranked American Athletic Conference opponent in less than two weeks.
