Surprised that it has not been mentioned all ready, but I received an email yesterday from USF athletics with a perk for basketball season ticket holders, where you can get free tickets to four different "Fall" sports. You can get up to 4 tickets per sport (MBB for me). Email stated: Thank you for being a fan of USF Basketball! We appreciate your continued support, and as a thank you from us, we are providing each Bulls Basketball season ticket holder up to 4 additional tickets to a selected game of each fall sport we have at USF! Come out and help pack the stands and give our team a hometown advantage! Good opportunity to see some other USF sporting events. I've all ready claimed 4 BYU football tickets and two tickets for volleyball this Friday. I have some time to claim men's and women's soccer tickets. I assume by the wording, that this offer includes WBB season ticket holders; but don't know for sure.

Board member @BDYZR offered this item for the Bulls Football Crowdfund Raffles in order to raise funds for USF Football and our $23 for 23 IPF effort. It is a Yuengling embroidered hat on which BDYZR collected many autographs (in the historical Yuengling Center) from members of the Men's and Women's Basketball teams. Autographs include key players and are in dark sharpie. See pictures (click to expand). In my review, I see autographs from Michael Durr, David Collins and LaQuincy Rideau among many others. According to BDYZR, the hat has been autographed by all of both men's and women's teams from last year. The pins on the sides of the hat remain with BDYZR, however. A nice addition to the man or woman cave for teams we know are on the rise and should have exceptional seasons in 2019-20. BDYZR will deliver in Tampa or take care of shipping if necessary. Your purchased raffle tickets for this item goes directly to the $23 for 23 fund and drives us towards our goal of $10,000 at the end of this month. -

BULLS' FOREIGN TOUR OF CANADA WILL BE 'ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME' EXPERIENCE August 01, 2019 FOREIGN TOUR UPDATES: Be sure to follow USF men's basketball on Twitter @USFMBB for updates during its foreign tour of Canada that takes place Saturday through Friday, Aug. 9. By TOM ZEBOLD USF Senior Writer TAMPA, AUG. 1, 2019 – Four months after a postseason championship victory, record-breaking USF men's basketball is eager to face more competition and soak up the sights during its foreign tour of Canada that takes place Saturday through Friday, Aug. 9. "It's a great opportunity for our guys, a once-in-a-lifetime experience to go to two great cities in Montreal and Quebec City," head coach Brian Gregory said. "We'll play four very good teams." USF's first game since defeating DePaul in the 2019 College Basketball Invitational championship is against the University of Quebec 2 p.m. Sunday at Meagher Arena in Montreal. Action continues Monday, Aug. 5 with the Bulls taking on Laval University in a 7 p.m. game at PEPS Arena in Quebec City. "It's a long offseason, so every time we get to go out there and compete, we're just thankful for it," said forward Alexis Yetna, the 2019 American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. "We're excited about playing in Canada." USF will definitely be tested Wednesday, Aug. 7 during a 7 p.m. matchup with Carleton University at Place Bell Arena in Montreal. Carleton has won 14 national championships over the past 17 years and owns an all-time record of 44-31 against NCAA programs. "Canadian basketball is very good," said Gregory, who went on a foreign tour of Canada during his tenure as Dayton's head coach (2003-11). "These guys are usually a little bit older. They are able to practice year-round and they're very, very well-coached." The Bulls wrap up their four-game run Thursday, Aug. 8 at 6 p.m. against McGill University back at Montreal's Place Bell Arena. "We're just really hoping to go up there and play the best we can," said junior guard/forward Justin Brown of the Bulls, who get 10 summer practices to prepare for the foreign tour. "We've got the same team coming back next year with a few extra pieces." This upcoming season, USF returns all five starters, 92.4 percent of its scoring and 94.6 percent of its rebounding totals from the 2018-19 squad that hoisted the program's first postseason championship trophy since 1990. "Now we've got a core team," said Yetna, who started 34 games last season. "We just keep going forward and it feels good to see the progress from a year to another. We're very excited about having a lot of the team coming back." USF has been deemed a team on rise by numerous college basketball experts after completing the top turnaround in the NCAA last season with a school record 24 victories, 14 more than the Bulls' total in 2017-18. "I think we can definitely take this to the next level," said star junior guard David Collins, the 2019 College Basketball Invitational's Most Valuable Player. "We've just got to take it a day at a time, focus on getting better every day and all those things are going to come." Up-and-Coming Bulls Will Get Valuable Minutes Most of USF's returning starters will be in action during the foreign tour, but expect to see the Bulls' up-and-coming talent on the court often. During USF's press conference this week, Gregory mentioned the staff's plans to give 20-plus minutes each game to players like redshirt sophomore guard Ezacuras Dawson III (Miami), redshirt freshman forward Madut Akec(Bradenton, Fla.), junior forward Mayan Kiir (Bradenton, Fla.), senior forward Antun Maricevic (Zagreb, Croatia) and sophomore guard Rashun Williams(Arlington, Ga.). "It's a great opportunity for our guys, especially some of the guys we're going to be counting on that maybe didn't log in as many minutes, or different things like that," Gregory said. Rideau Update One standout who won't be getting playing time during the foreign tour is Laquincy Rideau. Rest of Story

In addition, the Bulls captured the 2019 College Basketball Invitational championship to claim the program's first postseason championship since 1990. USF enters the season with all five starters back and a total of 92.4 percent of its scoring and 94.6 percent of its rebounding returning.

Head coach Jose Fernandez earned his 350thcareer victory and two Bulls received all-conference honors before USF was selected to compete in the WNIT, extending its streak to 15 consecutive years in a postseason tournament.

TAMPA, JUNE 6, 2019 – The USF men's basketball team will face its first opponents since winning the 2019 College Basketball Invitational later this summer when the Bulls travel to Canada August 3-9 for the team's Foreign Tour. USF begins play Sunday, Aug. 4 at 2 p.m. when the Bulls face the University of Quebec from Meagher Arena in Montreal. The Citadins finished the 2017-18 season with an 8-8 record in conference on their way to an appearance in the conference tournament finals. Center Alex Lochard was named the conference and National Rookie of the Year after leading the league with 18.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Last summer, the Citadins faced two NCAA teams and were defeated by both Vermont and Maryland Eastern Shore. The Bulls will next make the short trip to Quebec City, Quebec, and play Laval University at PEPS Arena. Laval posted a 5-11 record last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in six seasons. Sam Houston State transfer Marc-Andre Fortin is the top returner for Laval after earning Second Team All-Conference honors a season ago. Fortin was selected to play team Team Canada this summer in Naples, Italy. Laval was victorious against NCAA foes South Carolina State and Florida A&M last summer. USF's toughest task north of the border comes Wednesday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. against Carleton from Place Bell Arena in Montreal. Carleton owns a 44-31 all-time record against NCAA teams and defeated Vanderbilt twice and Alabama once in 2017. In addition, the Ravens have only lost one regular season game over the last three seasons and have won 14 national championships and 11 conference championships over the last 17 years.

Some, solid pub from one of the best in CBB: ANDY KATZ, NCAA.COM CORRESPONDENT | APRIL 28, 2019 11 rising stars to watch for in the 2019-20 men's basketball season ... David Collins, G, South Florida Collins flew under the radar this season. He shouldn’t next as the Bulls are a legit contender to win the American. USF beat DePaul to claim the CBI title and Collins was a main reason why. Collins dropped 19 in the win over the Blue Demons in the title game. Collins scored 20 in one of the Bulls’ bigger wins of the season over Memphis in early February. The 6-3 guard shot 40 percent and averaged 15 a game. ... Link

I think we were just a bit too young to make the NCAA this past year; we lost a lot of games due to youth and the lack of floor maturity. So, if we are to make the dance next year, what do we need to do? For me, if Kiir, Brown and Durr improve their games, we dance next year. (1) Kiir needs to be able to score more. I don't know what he needs to do but he just needs to add more points to his PT. (2) Brown is probably one of the best shooters on the team, a very natural shot. However, his scoring selection is a little iffy -he goes for too many 3s and passes up a lot of shots. And (3) Durr, I think he really picked up his game towards the end of the season. Man, if he improves that much more over the summer and into the start of the next season, look out! Yeah, I know, team-wise, our free throw % is bad... But our style is hustle bball and being tired probably has a lot to do with it. Bad excuse, I know! What about the rest of the roster? And what about the two new incoming guys? For sure, we'll miss Lang and Nik (moral support and one of the crew in practice). Holy crud, this is the first time in a long time that I can honestly say that I'm first a USF bball fan and then a USF football fan...
