Got Sixty Bucks?
Then you should be able to make a last minute trip to New York City for USF's Big East opener vs. DePaul tomorrow morning. JetBlue is offering a 10 dollar fare from Orlando to NYC tomorrow, so with taxes and fees a round trip ticket will cost you $41.80! Add in seven dollars for the early games,...
The Theme For This Week
You think conference tournaments are about celebrating your league, watching some good basketball, handing out awards, and enjoying a city you don't visit very often? SCREW THAT. The conference tournament is about two things: 1) Winning, and 2) Winning. If you're following along this...
Dominique Jones Named to All-Big East Team
I was gearing up to make the case for Dominique Jones being on the All-Big East first team, figuring they wouldn't be announced for a few days. Instead, the Big East announced the teams this morning and DoJo made the list. He's the second USF player ever named to the All-Big East first team. The...
Just When We Think They're Out, They Pull Us Back In
You said it. I know you did. I did too. After USF laid an egg at home against St. John's, everyone thought the dream was dead. There was no way the Bulls could squeak into the NCAA tournament. It was over. But now USF has won their last three, and they're headed to New York with a 9-9 conference...
Bonus Bulls Recon: Kevin at The UConn Blog

In advance of our huge game against Connecticut this Saturday, Mike Grant over at UCHuskies.com as nice enough to do a Q&A before our NCAA Elimination game. You can check out my answers for a couple of his questions here. 1. What the hell happened vs. Notre Dame? Total no show. Stanley Robinson,...
Those Who Do Learn From History Are Not Doomed To Repeat It
Back in the Seth Greenberg era, USF would always hang around the bubble until the end of the regular season, and then they'd go out on the road in the last game or two and crap the bed against Southern Miss or UAFB or some other horrible team. (Why UAFB? That's another story for another time.)...
USF-DePaul Haiku
The Dream is Alive! Bulls win While Playing C Game NOW GET TO THE DOME!
Bulls Recon: John from CCB talks DePaul Hoops
I was able to get John over at Chicago College Basketball to spend some time out of his busy schedule to talk a little about DePaul hoops, their coaching situation, and USF commit Lavonte Dority. 1. How has the team responded after Tracy Webster took over for Jerry Wainwright? When Tracy Webster...
USF Outruns Providence 99-93
I saw the final score and thought to myself, "Well, Providence plays so fast. Both teams must have had the ball a bunch of times, that's why the score was so high. USF isn't that bad at defense." So I figured out the teams' offensive efficiency for the game. You take the number of possessions by a...
