South Florida led 12-2 on T.J. Lang's 3 while the Shockers made just 1 of 12 shots on 8-percent shooting with 11:54 left. Rideau's free throws capped a 5-0 run for a 30-15 halftime lead.
The Shockers closed to 37-31 on Jamarius Burton's layup after an 11-0 run, but Alexis Yetna and Collins each hit 3s and the Bulls led 50-39 with 3:19 to go.
