Guest BasketBull. Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Brett McMurphy, Gregg Becnel The Tampa Tribune:LINK[...]Minnesota contacted USF about scheduling a home-and-home series beginning next season, but USF was not interested. USF still needs two non-conference games to complete its 2006 schedule.[...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I'd say bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would like to see us to play Ga Tech. Its an easy trip for bulls fans and it would also give us exposure in the Atlanta recruiting area.

Perhaps, it's as simple as they wanted the game at their home in 2006 and we wanted it in Tampa. It would be nice to know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(UNC/NCST or someone like that??)Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I would prefer to play a team that is closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 USF's 2006 Schedule:OOC:@ UNC@ UCFvs FIUBig East:@ Louisville@ Cincinnati@ West Virginiavs Rutgersvs U Connvs Pittsburghvs SyracuseMiami also owes USF a game in Tampa, but that probably won't be until 2007 (which is better for USF, as the Bulls only have 3 Big East home games that year).
