Four players scored in double figures and the South Florida men’s basketball team shot nearly 50 percent from the field while nearly matching Virginia in rebounds. The Bulls, however, couldn’t overcome poor free-throw shooting, and that cost them a 77-75 loss to the Cavaliers in Virginia on Wednesday night.
The Bulls were 6-of-12 from the free-throw line — losing six points that could have changed the outcome of the game.
“I wish I had the magic wand that could fix that thing, trust me,” USF coach Stan Heath said. “We were 0-for-5 to start the game, and those things come back to haunt you.”
Coach says women’s basketball wins reflect changed team
After the South Florida women’s basketball team trounced its third opponent in a row Tuesday night — this time with a 103-55 win over Stetson — it became clear to coach Jose Fernandez that there is something different about this team.
“I think we’re on total different ends of the spectrum compared to last season,” Fernandez said. “For us to be successful this year we’re going to have to play different.”
Fernandez said one of the big changes is that the team is playing at a quicker pace, which has enabled it to accumulate 57 steals this season.
Win this one for the seniors.
After three consecutive losses ended the South Florida football team’s chances at not only a Big East title but also a 10-win season, the Bulls are aiming to send the senior class out on a high note.
The Bulls (6-4, 1-4) have 22 seniors, 14 of whom are starters, who will play their final game at Raymond James Stadium when they host the Connecticut Huskies (7-3, 3-2) at 8 p.m. Sunday night. The game will be broadcast by ESPN.
