Bulls vs. Loyola Marymount - In game discussion

[flsportsfan83]

If this experience helps us in the future it is well worth it. This team deserved post season, now in no way should we play in this next year.

Nobody complained when the women won the WNIT, and the women's version of the NIT is a lot lower in public opinion when compared to the men's NIT.

Had a great time tonight.  Just bought my tix for Monday night.  Went up to $20 and only first level on sale again.

GO BULLS!

Seems to happen every game and you just don't know when it will appear. We can look so good in spots during just about every game, but we will also look bad, very bad in the same games as well.

It did happen almost, if not, every game. It's what you get when the majority of court time is by 1st and 2nd year players at this level. The encouraging part is that they've been able to have enough good spots to win 22 games.

It's all good .... They overcame your wife and 83 guaranteeing a win. There may be some hairline cracks starting to form in the Curse.

What sport do we play at USF that isn’t a money loser?

@Bausfkid

basing an entire argument off of a single article that ONLY mentions some of the costs and NONE of the revenues associated with this tournament and claiming it is a "money loser" with NOTHING positive to say whatsoever about it makes me question the motives of certain posters.

Instead of hoping for the best for the team in this tournament, some people choose to focus on this like we are wasting money even if they don't actually know for certain the facts of the situation (i.e. "where's the revenue?") -- take some responsibility and make sure you yourself KNOW there is no revenue generated to offset some of the costs for playing in this.

Like someone pointed out-- there is no sports program at USF that actually makes money (NET). Based on your definition, we should just scrap sports completely. When we play a football opponent-- we give them money for traveling expenses -- this may be standard across many sports (not certain). It cost us this much to HOST those teams that came to our venue. Sure-- it was handled by Roman CBI (and rather poorly based on the comment I heard during the game that LMU arrived using three different planes) -- and they probably took a HUGE cut off that money (they are business after all). THey failed to sell any TV packages of the tournament EXCEPT the championship games on ESPNU (just dumb)-- and had they done that, this would/should have been free if not a money maker. You cannot tell me that USF will receive NOTHING for playing games that appear on ESPNU. That makes no sense to me whatsoever.

A very big fan.  They are a money loser.  Your point is?
