USF Defeats Slumping Santa Clara

SANTA CLARA (CBS / AP) -- Angelo Caloiaro scored 20 points and Perris Blackwell added 19 to lead San Francisco past Santa Clara 90-77 Thursday night.

Rashad Green added 18 points and nine rebounds for the Dons (14-9, 4-5 West Coast), who won for the fourth time in five games. Cody Doolin added 14 points, 11 in the second half.

Denzel Johnson scored a season-high 26 points to lead the Broncos (8-12, 0-7), who lost their eighth straight to match their longest losing streak in 48 years.

Santa Clara played without leading scorer Kevin Foster, who missed his second game as a result of breaking team rules. Evan Rocquemore was held out of the starting lineup a second time for a different infraction.

The Dons held a 41-33 advantage at halftime as Green hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
