MBB/WBB doubleheader on 12/16 with a huge WBB game that day. I dont know. I would just accept the best bowl game regardless of basketball. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not interested in padding stats with a win over a no name team. Feels too participation trophy-ish for me. Put these extra practices to use and play a legitimate game that people (at large - not just die hards) will want to tune into. USF needs to make a name for itself again. No risk, no reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they will determine the match up that gives them the most eyeballs on the bowl game even though it might slightly reduce eyeballs on the BB games.

Meaning if we have a bowl game on December 28 does that mean that we are able to practice more than if the bowl game is on December 22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powers that be at USF do, so it's safe to say that they are going to do everything humanly possible to play after that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned previously, the powers that be here will do everything possible to not play that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. Are you one that feels the AAC is a conference of no names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a mistake. We haven't had a bowl game since 2018; we play more then 30 games a year in basketball. You play in the best possible bowl against the best possible team Edited November 28, 2023 by belgianbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
