I don't know much about this team this year... but in previous years, they seem to be a well disciplined team.  I expect this to be our toughest game to date and the toughest game of the stretch leading up to getting gransberry and verdejo eligible.

How much freaking tougher can you get than a double OT game???   :

they are pretty young. 4 of top 5 scores are freshman. 5 of top 7 player minutes are too. only loss on the road. we'll be their next road game. should give us an advantage playing a young team on the road for the 2nd time.

Question about basketball tickets.  Why does USF (and probably other schools for that matter) have $20 and $25 tickets for games at the beginning of the season and only sell a few thousand seats?  Wouldn't it be better to put more people in the stands at $10 or $15 for those games?  The crowd for the FIU game was ridiculously small.  I'd like to see Richmond but I'd rather not spend $20 plus.  

If anyone on here has extras that they wouldn't mind selling for a discount let me know.

That's a great marketing question to ask.

I can understand that Big East Conference Games might be worth $20...but obviously, not many in Tampa think games in Nov and Dec are worth that.

Many schools have different prices for KEY games...and non key games.

Maybe USF Basketball should look to see how some football programs price BIG Games and not so big games.
