We have a weak schedule and that will hurt in any at large consideration. But as the previous poster explained, it was the kind of schedule that a new coach, with a complete new roster, from a bad previous years records needed.

With that said, I think for USF this year has been a success and here are the real chances of they continue winning.

Win AAC Tournament- go to NCAA

Continue winning but don’t win AAC Tournament- NIT

Either would had been unthinkable at the start of season

I would think ND would take Fsu's spot. If the acc or b12 expand then usf+ whoever takes the next spot for expansion. ND isn't guaranteed  a spot in the new playoffs without a conference.

Notre Dame isn’t joining the ACC for football. They will still be able to make CFP if they are in top 12

All the ACC has to do is ask WVU to join & they will say yes due to geography and they save tons more on travel. Plus it brings the backyard brawl back to a conference. OK St will probably end up in the SEC at some point imo 

OKSt has little value for SEC. They got that state’s big fish already. I would say that in the SEC’s eyes the following are ahead of OKState.

1. UNC, Virginia

2. NCST, Virginia Tech

3. West Virginia, Kansas or Kansas State

The SEC will be more attracted to the big name schools in adjacent states before going after OKState in fact FSU, Clemson would be more attractive if they were going to add a school already in their footprint 

Basketball at USF is fun finally. Checking in at 5:30 am local time in Istanbul for the good news. Go Bulls!!

Zero. Unless we win AAC Tournament.

Now NIT or CBI possible

They really do but I'm afraid with the Bucs playing at 3:00, there will be no casual fans and many of the STMs won't show.  Hope I'm wrong.  Students, however, should have a good showing up in to the second level.

GO BULLS!

If so, let them move down and be loud

I hope people show up big on Sunday. This team deserves it

Huge win for USF basketball 

We need to add a few more from TF

This should be our goal and expectations every year. Let’s Go Bulls

They are really average for the AAC this year. They lack the big inside presence they had past few years. They don’t have anyone to really drive the ball in and score and the only outside shooter is Blasigh. 

Kasean Pryor was the MVP of this game. Great comeback by the Bulls. And how about that FT shooting

Added another transfer

Brent Austin CB from JMU

USF adds grad transfer from Vanderbilt 6’6 326 OT Junior Uzebu

Why does that scenario sound so familiar?

I think that’s the scenario in every league. You think Bama thinks Vanderbilt it’s same as them? I mean even in the AAC you have our fans acting like we are too good for most of the rest. Reality there are top, mid and lows in every league

Yeah of all the crazy scenarios out there, this one is the craziest IMHO. Never gonna happen. This guy just wants WVU to play ACC teams.

The B12 Twitter wants so bad for the ACC to go the way of the PAC it’s ridiculous. They truly believe that by killing the ACC they are closer to P2

I'm curious to see who on our future schedules buys out gams. 

1. I can see Notre Dame buying out the game in Tampa (or both games). I think stadium size is an issue, and we may have to agree to Ray Jay to keep that game. They want to play in front of their fans, and will want a bunch of tickets. 

2. NC State has already told us they may have to buy out the game, per ACC requirements. (which may lead to Miami and Louisville buying out too) - as the ACC has told their member not to play any more road games at G5 schools. Of course, the ACC has bigger issues to worry about. 

3. I'm not sure we play both games at Alabama if we keep getting better, I could see them buying out the last one. 

This list obviously changes if our conference changes. 

I would be surprised if the Notre Dame game is not moved to RJS. I don’t see them playing at our new OCS. 

Israel Carter on Twitter says he is back at USF

I think with the upcoming CFP 12 teams and seeing what happened with Liberty this year.

Going forward having ONE P school in schedule at most should be the goal. Going 13-0 or at worst 11-2 will be needed to have a shot at CFP

With the size of our new stadium, doubt we will be getting many big schools coming in.

Still would like to see a big DT sign from TF

Memphis,USF, Tulane,UTSA

not sure on the 5th one

traditional big men that play with their back to the basket don't open up anything. they clog the lanes and don't allow for penetration.

unless they can run to the rim on a pick and roll or knock down the three they are pretty much worthless on offense.

My point was not about big men opening lanes but about needing outside three point shooting to do so. Having little inside games we need drives to the basket as the poster stated, but you can’t do that if you aren’t a threat from outside.

I agree this team has been fun to watch. Need a real big. I also wish we would drive to the hoop more. IMO this team takes too many 3's. When they are off they hurt themselves. Reid also needs to shoot more. Kid is good.

This team has no big guy inside. It needs to open up court to allow those drives. You need three point shooting to open it up.

Right now we are #8 in conference in three point shooting at 32.9%,I remember when we used to be dead last in NCAA

We are #11 in league in number of three points taken, so it isn’t like we are going crazy with them.

This team will live and die on whether it can force turnovers and hit from outside. If it can’t hit from outside, there will be no room for any drives to the hoops.

Still way more exciting to watch than any team Gregory had even with more talent.. 

Well, I for one enjoy watching this team play more than I have in past years. We still need more inside players but overall I think Coach has done a great job with what he has and you can see the improvement since start of season. We finally have a team that can actually shoot FTs and is exciting to watch on offense.

I feel better about USF basketball than I have in past.

Great win by the Bulls. USF plays much better with Pryor at center
