TAMPA (Nov. 19, 2022) – The University of South Florida women’s basketball team heads on the road for the first time during the 2022-23 season as the Bulls travel to Fort Worth, Texas to face TCU in the Maggie Dixon Classic. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. ET and the game can be seen live on ESPN+. The Green and Gold look to extend its season-opening winning streak to five games.

 

Florida State transfer and former McDonald’s High School All-American Sammie Puisis leads three players in double figures in the scoring column, averaging 20.0 points per game while Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu and Elena Tsineke are netting 17.8 and 14.5 points per game, respectively. Carla Brito finds herself right outside of double digits, averaging 9.0 points per contest to start her collegiate career.

 

Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu leads the Bulls in rebounding grabbing 9.8 boards per game and Brito is a close second averaging 7.3 rebounds per outing.

 

TCU comes into its game with South Florida with a 2-1 record following wins over Lipscomb, 69-62, on Nov. 7 in its season opener and UTSA, 74-67, on Nov. 10. The Horned Frogs’ lone loss was at North Carolina, 75-48, on Nov. 12.

 

Tomi Taiwo leads TCU in scoring, averaging 12.7 points per game, and is followed closely by Knisha Godfrey who is netting 10.7 points per outing to go along with 5.3 rebounds per contest. Emily Fisher falls just shy of averaging double-digits in the scoring column, averaging 9.3 points per game. Bella Cravens leads the team on the glass grabbing 8.5 rebounds per game. 

 

Sunday’s game marks the sixth meeting between South Florida and TCU with the Horned Frogs leading the series, 4-1. The Bulls have never defeated TCU in Fort Worth and South Florida's lone win came in an 89-84 double-overtime thriller in the, then, USF Sun Dome on Feb. 2, 2004. All five games played previously in the series were played while the Bulls and Horned Frogs were members of Conference USA.

 

Following TCU, South Florida returns to the Yuengling Center on Nov. 22 when they host New Hampshire. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m. (ESPN+).

I set an alarm to remind me to watch.

[Ricky the Bull]

Looking forward to watching! My LG doesn't have the ESPN app available so it's going to be Chromecast for me.

[Gat-Rat Bull]

Go Bulls!

[Ricky the Bull]

Tied 27-27 at the half. We had a scoring drought to finish the half... good defenses by both teams. 

Big 12 homers calling the game.

The court made us dizzy watching. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the Hurricanes we were drinking. A nice solid win. Just don't like how coach clams up the offense with over 5 minutes to go. Told my wife they'd close it to 3 or 4 points. Actually got within two after having a 13 point lead.
