The Bulls will face the Green Wave for the second time this season in American Athletic Conference action. The Feb. 12 game will be broadcast on ESPN2, with Jenn Hildreth (play-by-play) and Sue Bird (analyst) on the call. USF IMG Sports Network radio broadcast can be heard on AM 1040, featuring Mike Lefko and Brigid Merenda. USF (19-4, 8-2 The American) is one win away from its fifth consecutive 20-win season. The Bulls look to tally its 20th win in their 25th contest of the season which would be the second fastest any program has reached 20 wins. Promotions National Girls & Women in Sports Day On Sunday, USF will celebrate National Girls & Women in Sports with a free pregame clinic featuring student athletes from the volleyball, women’s soccer, track & field and Spirit Squad. Registration starts at 10 a.m. in The Corral. The clinic will run from 10:30 to 11:30 am.

USF rolled past Tulane 62-53 earlier this season, powered by Maria Jespersen, who posted her sixth double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Tulane (15-9, 6-5 The American) looks to bounce back after a two-game skid. The Green Wave dropped back-to-back contests to Temple and Memphis at home. Tulane averages 56 points per game and are led by Kolby Morgan and Leslie Vorpahl with 19 and 12 points per game respectively. Notables The Bulls are one win away from their fifth consecutive 20-win season, the ninth in program history. Head coach Jose Fernandez has been at the helm for all eight 20-win seasons. The 2014-15 team reached 20 wins in 24 games, and still currently holds the best record for most wins in a season (27). Laia Flores (Mataro, Spain) continues to rank second in the country with an assist to turnover ratio of 3.5. The junior has 143 assists this season which ranks seventh in the USF single season record book. USF’s +9.7 rebounding margin is second in The American, as is their 72.4 points per game and +13.7. The Bulls have totaled 11 wins by 16 or more points, including four against conference opponents. Head coach Jose Fernandez reached 300 career wins Jan. 17. Only three active coaches in the American Athletic Conference have achieved the feat. The Bulls are currently ranked No. 22 in the AP Poll. USF is the only team in NCAA Division I with nine international players on its roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane is hardly a rival yet. Other than UConn, who do y'all think has been our most challenging rivalry in WBB? Temple and Tulane have potential, but neither has beaten us since they joined the AAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
