The AAC is an underrated conference in basketball, and would be a three big league this year if they had collectively done a better job with ooc scheduling. The NET would be 15 spots higher for almost everyone in the conference. More importantly it’s still the best football conference available to us right now and it needs to stay that way. There is nothing to be gained by degrading it when it’s already in a vulnerable state after just getting raided. The mwc is strengthening with former p5’s joining them and they have a basketball advantage, somehow. While I agree with your overall sentiment, there's nothing to be lost by degrading it on our message board either. It's how some fans roll, but what really matters is if they're still buying tix and supporting ...... and that particular chronic complainer is, bless his heart.

Bob Loblaw Posted March 13 Group: Member Topic Count: 7 Content Count: 307 Reputation: 188 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/17/2023 Share Posted March 13 (edited) We were called out on ESPN’s latest bubble watch article: Bubble Watch 2024: Brace Yourself for NCAA Tournament Drama Work to do South Florida Bulls For now, it's safe to say South Florida's drive for an at-large bid peaked on the morning of the regular season's finale on Saturday. At that point, the Bulls owned the nation's longest active win streak. Then the streak ended, and the drive for the bid at least paused, as USF lost 76-70 at Tulsa. Who knows, perhaps there will be another peak in the at-large candidacy. If so, however, it will have to be reached by means of defeating an opponent other than Florida Atlantic at the American tournament. South Florida and the Owls are the top two seeds in the bracket. (updated March 9) Gotta love March Madness. Let’s see how the cookie crumbles Edited March 13 by Bob Loblaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing yet but I see many are predicting USF to ACC whenever they expand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USF_Bullsharks Posted March 14 Group: Member Topic Count: 11 Content Count: 877 Reputation: 480 Days Won: 1 Joined: 02/24/2021 Share Posted March 14 Hard to believe 2PAC and Memphis for ACC bids, same with UConn, but you never know. I think everything between now and the end of the FSU saga (plus 2024 and 2025 conference distributions - whichever comes later) will be all speculation unless one of the actual sources (McTurd/Dodd/etc.) announces something. Think we can all focus on the new CFP, USF athletics, and conference athletics for the next 2 years or so. Twitter conference superfans are largely grasping at straws at the moment until FSUvsACC is decided. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBT's Joey Knight posted an article about a new FT shooting drill that was implemented that they believe helped our percentage. Best percentage ever posted. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bulls/2024/03/13/usf-free-throw-amir-abdur-rahim-joi-williams-chris-youngblood/?trk_msg=MAU713RJU96KB001756I82958S&trk_contact=0AL62P0QNN60OCDBTSSGTTTA90&trk_sid=F7BJDKT15I97SAC0FP7F7MR6QK&trk_link=OQ3B52IF7MIKD8SD5JFJ8A02O0&utm_email=640a3172f1d679f3e83c4c2e56ef6883c08718ccdc20d31f76bb5f95b9cd08db&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=How+a+free-throw+drill+may+have+sparked+USF+basketball’s+dream+season&utm_campaign=Corporate+landlords+evict+at+higher+rates The Bulls (23-6, 16-2 American Athletic Conference) ended the regular season with the best free-throw percentage (474 of 640, 74.1%) in the program’s 53-year history, eclipsing the previous record held by the 1978-79 club (73.8%). In four of their biggest wins of the season (FSU, Memphis, Florida Atlantic, SMU), they shot 75% or better from the stripe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
