TAMPA (February 16, 2022) – The University of South Florida Bulls wrap up their stretch of six games over 13 days with two more home games at Yuengling Center on Thursday night against ECU and Saturday afternoon against Tulsa.

Thursday's game against ECU is a makeup of a postponed contest from January 1. The Bulls and Pirates will square off again in North Carolina next Wednesday.

USF has won four of the last five meetings against ECU, including two straight in Tampa, both in overtime. The Pirates are 1-5 on the road this year and 2-8 overall away from home.

Russel Tchewa scored seven points and pulled down five rebounds in the lone meeting against ECU last season. Tchewa scored nine points and matched a career high with 10 rebounds against Tulsa on Tuesday night, just missing his second double-double of the year.

Serrel Smith Jr. paced the Bulls off the bench on Tuesday with a season-high 17 points on 4-7 shooting from beyond the arc. Corey Walker Jr. tallied a career-high 11 points in the setback. Walker Jr. also notched new career highs in rebounds (11) and blocks (4) last Saturday at Wichita State.

Caleb Murphy (11.7) continues to lead USF's offense followed by Javon Greene (9.5). Jamir Chaplin is averaging a team-best 11.3 ppg on 49.5 percent shooting over 11 conference games this season. Chaplin missed Tuesday's game against Tulane with an ankle injury.

Up Next

Following the conclusion of this three-game homestand, the Bulls embark on their final road trip of the regular season with games at ECU (Feb. 23) and Cincinnati (Feb. 26).

TAMPA, Fla. –– After a matchup against UCF in Orlando earlier in the week, Tulsa is back in the Sunshine State for an early Saturday morning game with South Florida.
 
Saturday's game will tip-off at 11 a.m. (CT) on ESPN+ from South Florida's Yuengling Center.
 
Tulsa enters with an overall 8-16 record, 2-11 in the American Athletic Conference. The Hurricane dropped its last game 76-67 to the Knights on Monday. The Bulls (7-18, 2-11 AAC) come in having played only two nights earlier, when East Carolina visited and beat South Florida 65-57.
 
This is the 12th meeting in the series and the Hurricane will look to keep its undefeated record alive on Saturday and move to 7-0 in games played in Tampa. Tulsa won the earlier matchup in the season, beating the Bulls 76-45 on Jan. 29. The 31-point win was the largest of the season for Tulsa, and the lowest offensive output from South Florida. Jeriah Horne and Sam Griffin combined to score 44 points in the win.  
 
On Monday, Horne recorded 18 points and eight rebounds to pace the Hurricane, and Darien Jackson added 16 points, but it wasn't enough to stop UCF. Tulsa shot just 33 percent in the opening half, while UCF knocked down 57 percent of its shots, putting TU in a hole that was difficult to climb out of. The Hurricane only turned it over three more times than its opponents, but the Knights outsco

red Tulsa 26-13 in points off turnovers.
 
On the season, Horne leads Tulsa with a 16.2 scoring average and 7.0 rebounds, while sophomore guard Griffin is next in scoring with a 15.1 average. Jackson scores at a 9.3 clip and grabs 3.1 rebounds per game. Freshman Anthony Pritchard dishes out a team-high 3.2 assists per game and has contributed more than 25 percent of the team's total assists on the season.
 
The Bulls are led by three players who average close to the same amount. Only Caleb Murphey averages double figures, putting up 11.5 a night. Javon Greene and Jamir Chaplin score 9.4 and 9.1 respectively. Greene is one of the craftier defenders in the conference, averaging an AAC-high 2.0 steals per night and has 47 total steals.
 
The game will broadcast on ESPN+ and Bruce Howard and J.R. Rollo will be on the radio call, airing on Big Country 99.5 FM.2.13.22

Two bottom dwellers in an exciting game at the YC, March Madness right around the corner and the buzz is in the air, will we be dancing?

I don't even have the energy to whine about how we NEVER make adjustments at half time like every one of our opponents does.  Sigh.

Yep, symptom of poor coaching, team is an embarrassment, least we got him locked in for the next 5 years to continue this clinic.  Gregory is a ******* thief and Kelly is a ******* imbecile.

I don't think anyone can disagree with you.

[jg233]

Right at this point Gregory is making the Robert McCullum years look good.  Gregory has put together a team with as little latent as I've seen at USF.
