Tampa, Fla. Dec. 30, 2023 – South Florida women’s basketball (8-5) is to open AAC conference action against SMU (6-5) on Saturday, Dec. 30. Tipoff at the Yuengling Center is slated for 7:00 p.m. and the action will stream live on ESPN+.

 

SETTING THE STAGE

The Bulls are looking to cap off December with a victory and are winners of three of their last five games. The Mustangs enter Tampa on a three-game hot streak.

 

THE SOUTH FLORIDA-SMU SERIES

Saturday marks the 18th clash between the Bulls and the Mustangs and South Florida has won 16 of 17 meetings in the all-time series. The series extends back to the 2001-02 season and the Bulls captured the last paring, 70-62 (Feb. 18, 2023).

 

LAST TIME OUT

South Florida fell, 73-50, in a hard-fought battle to No. 10/13 Baylor last Thursday in its second game at the West Palm Beach Classic. Freshman guard Vittoria Blasigh led the Bulls with a 16-point performance, her eighth double-digit scoring game of the season. Redshirt junior forward Romi Levy followed with 13 points and is on a three-game double-figure scoring hot streak. Sophomore wing Carla Brito added a double-double performance of 11 points and 11 rebounds, her second of the season.

 

BULL LEADERS

Blasigh leads South Florida with a 13.8 scoring average. Blasigh (35 3PM) is ranked 18th nationally in total 3-pointers made. Brito (10.0 ppg.) leads on the glass with 7.7 rebounds per contest, which ranks sixth in the American. Redshirt senior guard Aerial Wilson dishes out a team-best 4.0 assists per contest. Wilson’s 52 total assists rank third in the American.

This will be the toughest season in a long time for WBB. Will be happy any time we get a W. Not assuming any games this year.

COUSINRICKY You are so right we lost three great starters from last year. Without Sammie it will be tough year.

End of the first and Bulls up by 1.  We've got to start shooting better. 

They heard me.  Bulls up by 6.

A few bad turnovers but not a horrible second quarter. Carla avoided her 3rd foul and Marina made a couple of threes. Blasigh is just not ready for big time college ball unfortunately. Emma is back but only got about 4 minutes.

I wish they would be a bit more physical under the basket on defense.  Keep giving up easy ones.  I get that they don't want to foul.

Hope it’s just rust, but blech! Look lousy.

Wow! Seriously one-sided calls tonight. They’re letting one team play physical, but not the other.

Carla and Dani are pretty tough. Evelien works hard on D. Really worried that Maria hasn't scored and not sure she scored last game or two.

Coach not happy with Romi past couple minutes

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
