Tampa, Fla. Nov. 9, 2023 – The University of South Florida women’s basketball welcomes Stetson to the Yuengling Center for a Student Night showdown on Friday, Nov. 10. Tip-off is slated for 4:00 p.m. and the game will be streamed live on ESPN+.

 

SETTING THE STAGE

South Florida topped UT Arlington, 76-61, in the Bulls season opener on Monday night. The triumph marked USF’s 10^th straight season opener. USF saw four performers finish the night with double figures. Sophomore forward Daniela Gonzalez locked in a personal-high 16 points, and freshman guard Vittoria Blasigh netted 15 points in her South Florida debut. Junior forward Romi Levy (10 points) and sophomore wing Carla Brito (10 points) rounded out the Bulls in double-digits.

 

Stetson is still looking for its first win of the 2023-24 season, as the Hatters fell, 68-57, at Tulane on Monday night. Jordan Peete (14 points) and Jamiya Turner (12) combined for 26 points in the loss.

 

THE SOUTH FLORIDA-STETSON SERIES

USF has collected 26 of the 36 all-time gatherings with Stetson, and the Bulls enter as winners of 14 straight pairings with the hatters. In Tampa, South Florida is 22-3 against Stetson. The series began during the 1977-78 season and the last clash was a 69-50 Bulls win (Dec. 15, 2021).

 

 

MARKETING PROMOS

Friday night is Student Night in the Yuengling Center! There will be free food for the first 100 students in the Coke Lounge, raffle basket giveaways throughout the night, and postgame autographs at Gate A.

Bulls up 23-9 at the end of Q1. Alvarez with 3 from deep and Blasigh hits one as time expires. Several players with awful looking shots in the quarter.

Alvarez hits another 3 early in the Q2

[Cat941]

Maria with 14 points.  Four out of six on threes.  

[Cat941]

Bulls up by 10 at the half.  Not a good second quarter.

[panchosanchez99]

Poor second half filled with missed shots and turnovers, including Wilson's obligatory pass to someone who is not there, and a rebound with 5 seconds left that turned into a steal and a bucket for Stetson.  8 pts scored in the second half for a 31-21 lead. Shot 33% from the floor, including 1-7 2FG.

[Grateful Dad]

It's fun to watch.

[Cat941]

Maria finally drives to the basket and gets the bucket and one.  Bulls 34 and Stetson 21.  Another turnover now.  

[Outlaw]

LEts go ladies!

[panchosanchez99]

4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and only 5 points scored. Now 9-30 from the floor and 13 turnovers. 

CJF, it is now time to put your best 5 on the floor and stop the experimenting with different lineups. Win this game first and then try again in the next game.
