If you can get up on the road and beat UCF, you should be able to handle SMU at home. If they don’t, it just shows once again that there’s something missing. You have to be able to protect your home court against a team like SMU if you’re building a program. Otherwise, it’s just one step forward and one step back . . . again. I’ll go one more. There is absolutely no excuse for USF not to beat SMU and Tulsa at home. So anything worse than 2-1 rest of season shows once again the need to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I figured it out. Appears Calleja only got a scholarship for 2021-22, his senior year. Checking that year's roster kind of confirms that. He apparently didn't get one when he came back for this year, his fifth. If that's correct, we don't have a scholarship available right now for 2023-24 ...... but I would be shocked if we don't continue the USF MBB tradition of players bailing.

No doubt we’ll see some other moves. Gotta believe that D.J. Patrick and Jake Boggs are going to be told - “You can stay, but you ain’t gonna play much.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late in the game noticed what looked like some "interaction" with a couple of their ****head fans over there. Although I can well imagine what it probably was about, did you see anything?

We are only now showing that possibility. Not talking anout using the non-con opponents to determine how good a team is, but able to put best play forward.

Technically, a college basketball team can turn the corner right before the conference tournament starts, go on an unlikely run to win the conference tournament, get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, and win the national championship.
