GoUSFBulls.com Bulls vs. Stony Brook
Brad replied to Brad's topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
BULLS RETURN TO POSTSEASON, HOST STONY BROOK WEDNESDAY IN CBI March 17, 2019 Story Links 2019 CBI Bracket (PDF) TAMPA, MARCH 17, 2019 – The USF men's basketball team makes its return to the postseason for the first time since 2012, as the Bulls were selected to play in the 2019 College Basketball Invitational and will host Stony Brook Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Yuengling Center. USF season ticket members will receive an email Sunday night allowing them the opportunity to keep their same seats for Wednesday's game. Single-game tickets for the general public will go on sale Monday at noon and can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com. All 100 level seats can be purchased for $17 and all 200 level seats will be sold for $12. USF students will receive free admission thanks to the generosity of the USF Bulls Club members. USF will also provide a live BullsVision video stream of the game on www.GoUSFBulls.com and it can be heard live on 820 AM and the Bulls Unlimited channel on iHeartRadio. The College Basketball Invitational (CBI) is a single-elimination tournament consisting of 16 teams that compete on home courts. The championship is determined through a best two-out-of-three series format featuring the final two teams that will be broadcast live on ESPNU. The 2019 CBI field includes USF, Stony Brook, West Virginia, Grand Canyon, Coastal Carolina, Howard, Utah Valley, Cal State Northridge, DePaul, Central Michigan, Longwood, Southern Miss, Cal Baptist, Loyola Marymount, Brown and UAB. "We're excited to have the opportunity to play in the postseason and continue to build upon what we've already accomplished this year," USF head coach Brian Gregory said. "Our players have worked extremely hard from the outset of the season to compete in postseason play. This tournament is a quality step in our process and will provide our team with valuable experience that we can use in years to come, and we can't wait to get back in front of our fans on Wednesday at the Yuengling Center." USF (19-13) is in the midst of one of its greatest seasons in school history and has already tied for the fifth-most single-season wins in program history. The Bulls also finished the regular season with eight wins in American Athletic Conference play to mark its most in league history, which is also tied for the amount of AAC wins over the previous three years combined. The Bulls will be competing in the postseason for the 12th time in program history and making their first appearance in the CBI. USF has made three appearances in the NCAA Tournament and eight trips to the NIT. Individually, redshirt junior Laquincy Rideau (West Palm Beach, Fla.) was named the 2019 AAC Defensive Player of the Year to become the first such winner in USF school history. Forward Alexis Yetna (Paris) was tabbed the 2019 AAC Freshman of the Year to mark the first time USF has featured a Freshman of the Year since 1979, when the Bulls were a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Sophomore David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio) and Rideau were both named All-Conference Third Team to become the first two Bulls in AAC history to be named all-conference. Yetna was a unanimous selection to the All-Freshman Team, joining Collins as the only two Bulls in school history to be named to the AAC all-freshman team. Stony Brook (24-8, 12-4) finished in second place in the America East Conference but was upset in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament by Binghamton. The Seawolves are led by First Team All-Conference member Akwasi Yeboah, who led the team in scoring (16.6 ppg) and rebounding (7.8 rpg) during the campaign that featured wins over a Southeastern Conference opponent (South Carolina) and a pair of Atlantic 10 opponents (Rhode Island and George Washington). Stony Brook also defeated Northern Iowa, who advanced to the championship game in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. Stony Brook also features the Sixth Man of the Year in the America East, redshirt-sophomore Andrew Garcia and the Defensive Player of the Year, sophomore Jeff Otchere.

Brian Gregory never saw Justin Brown, David Collins or Alexis Yetna play in person before signing them By Joey Knight Published Yesterday Updated Yesterday TAMPA ― With each USF men’s basketball victory, the anecdote elicits more chuckles and less sympathy. Brian Gregory has shared it often. At his first meeting as Bulls coach two springs ago, 11 players showed up. By the next meeting, four remained. The April signing period ― the late period ― was roughly a month away. With fewer bodies on board than Hickory High, Gregory and his staff had to work, and fast. “We couldn’t be choosy during that time,” he said. But they could be strategic. Gregory wanted at least three graduate transfers to help with the present, three freshmen to help for the future, and three “best available” prospects. The freshmen who ultimately signed: guards Justin Brown and David Collins, and forward Alexis Yetna. “I had never seen any of 'em play live, ever,” Gregory said Monday. “No one on the staff had seen 'em play live. We went out in the spring and got to see some open gyms, but we did a lot of film study on 'em, and that can get you some evaluation. But a lot was based on recommendations from their coaches and from other guys that had seen 'em and different things like that.” Rest of article -
Bulls Face UConn in AAC Tournament Opener March 13, 2019 Story Links Game Notes (PDF) Matchup: USF (19-12, 8-10) vs. UConn (15-16, 6-12) Date: Thursday, March 14 Time: 1 p.m. EST Location: Memphis, Tenn. | FedEx Forum TV: ESPNU (Mike Corey, Tim Welsh) Radio: AM 820 | USF Bulls Unlimited (Jim Lighthall) Follow: Listen | Watch | Live Stats | Twitter TAMPA, MARCH 12, 2019 – The USF men's basketball team begins postseason play Thursday at 1 p.m. (EST) when the eighth-seeded Bulls face No. 9 seed UConn in the opening round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn. USF (19-12) and UConn will matchup for the third time this season and for the third time in conference tournament history. The Bulls won game one earlier this season behind 25 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals from redshirt junior guard Laquincy Rideau (West Palm Beach, Fla.). Rideau is second on the team with 12.9 points per game and leads The American with 5.5 assists and 2.9 steals per game. He was named The American Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday and also secured a spot on the All-Conference Third Team. UConn (15-16) took game two earlier this month and used 16 points and nine rebounds from Josh Carlton en route to a 60-58 victory. Sophomore David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio) scored 17 points and dished out four assists for the Bulls. Overall, Collins leads USF with 15.3 points per game and stands 20th in the NCAA with 170 made free throws, which is also good for the third-most in school history and fifth-most in conference history. On Monday, Collins was named to the All-Conference Third Team to join Rideau as the only two Bulls in school history to be selected all-conference in The American. AAC Freshman of the Year Alexis Yetna (Paris) added 15 points and eight rebounds in the last game against UConn and enters the postseason tops in The American in rebounding (9.6 rpg) and double-doubles (11). Yetna also stands third on USF with 12.1 points per game and was named a unanimous selection to The American All-Freshman Team. His 277 rebounds thus far this season are the second-most by a freshman in conference history and his 9.6 rebounds per game stands as the second-best single-season average among any player in league history. THE OPPONENT UConn (15-16) has won two of its last three games after closing the regular season with an 82-73 win Sunday at ECU to claim its first road win of the season. The Huskies had lost six in a row before their victory over USF on March 3. As a team, UConn is fourth in The American in scoring with 74.5 points per game. Senior guard Jalen Adams paces the UConn offense with 16.9 points per game and returned from injury Sunday to score 13 points to go along with 12 assists against the Pirates. Fellow guard Christian Vital adds 14.1 points per game and had made a team-high 72 three-pointers, while Carlton is tops on the team with 6.0 rebounds per game. QUOTABLE Head coach Brian Gregory on the matchup with UConn: "Polley has been shooting the ball extremely well for them over the last few games, but the big change for them has been Carlton inside. He's been tremendous. You just see him starting to blossom in the new system, and the last three games he's averaging over 20 points a game. He's rebounding the ball well on the offensive end and he hurt us in the first half in the game in Storrs. They are dynamic on the perimeter and they are dynamic in transition. Jalen Adams played the other day and he was sensational and he's one of the best guards in the league. We have to do a great job in our transition defense and we've got to guard the post because that's a new dimension to their offense." NOTABLE • USF is 3-21 against UConn in the all-time series that dates back to the 1972-73 season. • USF has won nine more games than it did last year and is tied for the sixth-best win improvement in the NCAA. • USF is one win away from only the program's fifth 20-win season and first since the 2011-12 season. • Laquincy Rideau is the first player in USF history to win a Defensive Player of the Year award. • USF is the only school in the NCAA to have its conference leader in rebounds, assists and steals. • USF redshirt freshman Alexis Yetna has more double-doubles (11) than six teams in The American. • Laquincy Rideau ranks seventh in the NCAA and first in The American with 2.9 steals per game. • Alexis Yetna leads The American and ranks 27th in the NCAA with 9.6 rebounds per game. • USF is ranked 10th in the NCAA and second in The American with a +7.4 rebounding margin. • USF has attempted the most free throws in the NCAA (860) and has made the sixth-most in the NCAA (551). • Laquincy Rideau looks to become the first player in AAC history to lead in assists and steals in the same season. • Laquincy Rideau already holds the American Athletic Conference single-season steals record with 80. • USF ranks fifth in the NCAA with 14.3 offensive rebounds per game.

I was sort of excited when Orlando was first hired. Boy was I wrong. Watching Coach Gregory's first two years vs Coach Antigua's time at USF really is a perfect case study on how important it is to hire the right college head coach. So happy we landed Gregory. https://watchstadium.com/news/the-10-worst-college-basketball-coaching-hires-this-decade-03-07-2019/amp/ T10. Orlando Antigua, USF – Mark Harlan, who is now the AD at Utah, hired the former Kentucky and Pittsburgh assistant to replace Stan Heath. The Antigua tenure lasted a little more than two years due to poor on-court performance and also NCAA violations from his brother – who was on his staff.

BULLS HOST SMU SUNDAY ON SENIOR DAY March 09, 2019 Matchup: USF (19-11, 8-9) vs. SMU (13-16, 5-12) Date: Sunday, March 10 Time: 4 p.m. EST Location: Tampa, Fla. | Yuengling Center TV: ESPNU (Drew Fellios, Mark Plansky) Radio: AM 820 | USF Bulls Unlimited (Jim Lighthall, Joey Johnston) Follow: Listen | Watch | Live Stats | Twitter TAMPA, MARCH 9, 2019 – The USF men's basketball team will play its final game of the regular season Sunday at 4 p.m. when the Bulls host SMU at the Yuengling Center on Senior Day.

USF (19-11, 8-9) turned in a 75-70 victory over Tulane on Wednesday and enters Sunday one victory shy of its first 20-win season since 2012. A win over the Mustangs would also be the first time in program history USF has collected its 20th victory during the regular season. Sophomore guard Justin Brown (Birmingham, Ala.) hit five 3-pointers and scored a career-high 20 points Wednesday at Tulane to help ensure USF's best finish in The American since joining the league in 2013. The Bulls are currently tied for seventh place and can finish no worse than eighth. Fellow sophomore David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio) also scored 20 points Wednesday against the Green Wave and leads USF and ranks 12th in the league with 15.3 points per game. Collins has also made 161 free throws this season, which ranks 22nd in the NCAA and is the second-most in a single season in AAC history. Redshirt junior guard Laquincy Rideau (West Palm Beach, Fla.) adds 12.9 points per game and paces The American with 5.5 assists and 2.9 steals per game. Rideau already has the most single-season steals in school history and is attempting to become the first player in conference history to lead the league in both steals and assists. Redshirt freshman Alexis Yetna (Paris) added nine points and eight rebounds at Tulane and averages 11.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. He leads the league in rebounding and double-doubles (10) and stands 21st in the nation with 3.3 offensive rebounds per game. Rest of report on GoUSFBulls.com Game Notes:

Bulls Face Road Test Saturday at No. 8 Houston February 22, 2019 Story Links Game Notes (PDF) Matchup: USF (18-8, 7-6) vs. Houston (25-1, 12-1) Date: Saturday, Feb. 23 Time: 6 p.m. EST Location: Houston | Fertitta Center TV: ESPN2 (Ted Emrich, Tim McCormick) Radio: AM 820 | USF Bulls Unlimited (Jim Lighthall) Follow: Listen | Watch | Live Stats | Twitter TAMPA, FEB. 22, 2019 – The USF men's basketball team will play its final road game in the month of February on Saturday at 6 p.m. (EST) when the Bulls travel to No. 8 Houston for a matchup broadcast live on ESPN2. USF (18-8, 7-6) enters the weekend coming off a 95-54 victory over Florida College on Tuesday in a game that took the place of the Bulls' regularly scheduled matchup at Charlotte that was cancelled on Dec. 9 due to Winter Storm Diego. USF has already won eight more games than it did all of last year and is four wins shy of tying the school record for the most single-season victories. Five Bulls scored in double figures Tuesday against Florida College, including a career-high 16 points and nine rebounds from junior Antun Maricevic (Zagreb, Croatia). Junior Mayan Kiir (Bradenton, Fla.) added 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench and freshman Rashun Williams (Arlington, Ga.) finished with a career-high 14 points to go along with three rebounds and three assists. Sophomore guard David Collins (Youngstown, Ohio) continues to serve as the offensive catalyst for USF and leads the team with 15.4 points per game. Collins has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games and ranks 12th in The American in scoring. He also averages 2.1 steals per game and ranks 30th in the NCAA and fourth in the league. Redshirt junior Laquincy Rideau (West Palm Beach, Fla.) ranks second on the team with 13.8 points per game and scored 16 points against Temple on Feb. 16 to reach 1,000 for his career. Rideau is also one of the top defenders and distributors in the NCAA, ranking sixth nationally with 3.0 steals per game, and 32nd in the nation with 5.7 assists per game. Redshirt freshman Alexis Yetna (Paris) stands third on the team with 12.2 points per game while leading The American with 9.9 rebounds per game. Yetna also ranks 14th in the NCAA with 3.5 offensive rebounds per game and has pulled down a league-leading 10 double-doubles. THE OPPONENT Houston (25-1, 12-1) has won 10 straight games and sits atop the league standings with a game lead over Cincinnati. The Cougars are a perfect 17-0 at home this season and own the nation's longest home winning streak at 32. As a team, Houston ranks first in The American in scoring defense by limiting teams to only 60.3 points per game. Additionally, the Cougars top the conference in three-point defense by holding opponents to 27.2 percent from beyond the arc. Senior guard Corey Davis Jr. leads the Houston offense with 15.7 points per game while junior Armoni Brooks adds 14.1 points and a team-high 6.4 rebounds per game. Senior guard Galen Robinson Jr. paces Houston with 5.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. QUOTABLE Head coach Brian Gregory on the matchup with Houston: "They're very good. Obviously, at this point they've separated themselves at the top team in our league, and I think nationally they are about as good as anybody. They are a Final Four-caliber team. They have the experience, they have the size, they have the depth, and their perimeter players have been playing extremely well over the last few weeks. They get great production from every spot on the floor, so you have to play very, very well to beat them. You have to be great defensively, you have to be great on the glass and you have to do a really good job offensively when you get open shots. There is a reason they are at where they are at right now, because they are as good defensively and rebound as well as any team around." NOTABLE • USF is 12-17 against Houston in the all-time series that dates back to the 1976-77 season. • USF is in search of its first win over a ranked team since defeating No. 19 Louisville on Feb. 29, 2012. • USF is the only school in the NCAA to have its conference leader in rebounds, assists and steals. • USF sophomore David Collins is averaging 19.8 points and shooting 53.7 percent over his last five games. • USF redshirt freshman Alexis Yetna has more double-doubles (10) than seven teams in The American. • Laquincy Rideau ranks sixth in the NCAA and first in The American with 3.0 steals per game. • Alexis Yetna leads The American and ranks 23rd in the NCAA with 9.9 rebounds per game. • USF has taken the most free throw attempts in the NCAA with 730 and has made the 10th-most in the NCAA (465). • Laquincy Rideau looks to become the first player in AAC history to lead in assists and steals in the same season. • USF is 25-3 all-time under Brian Gregory when leading by 10 points at any time during a game. • Five of USF's eight losses are by three points or less and the Bulls' eight losses are by an average of 5.3 points.
