USF, Florida State to Meet in Men’s Basketball

Dec. 21 marks the first meeting since 2007

TAMPA, APRIL 3, 2014 – USF will take on Florida State in men’s basketball next season as part of the 21st annual MetroPCS Orange Bowl Basketball Classic.

The 33rd meeting in the series in which the Seminoles lead, 20-12, will be played at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. on Saturday, Dec. 21 as part of a doubleheader with Florida and Wake Forest. Game times will be announced at a later date.

The two schools last met on Nov. 18, 2007, a 68-67 win for the Bulls in the final game of the Glenn Wilkes Classic in Daytona Beach. USF has won three of the last four meetings and is 2-2 against FSU at neutral sites.

Under recently hired head coach Orlando Antigua, USF returns two members of the American Athletic Conference All-Freshman team in big men John Egbunu and Chris Perry along with point guard Anthony Collins, who missed most of last season with a knee injury.

Florida State will be playing in the Classic for the sixth time (5-1). The Seminoles (22-14) recently finished their season with a 67-64 loss to Minnesota in the semifinals of the NIT.

For ticket information please contact the Orange Bowl ticket sales office at (305) 341-4701 or visit www.orangebowl.org.

The remainder of the Bulls’ schedule will be released at a later date.

Speaking of non - conference games, I wonder if Coach O can get Kentucky to come down to Tampa once he gets his system up and running.

It's just a 3.5 - 4 hr drive, man. Make it a weekend trip to South Florida.

Sounds like a home and home against Kentucky may also be in the works.

When is the Miami Beach Bowl? If we happen to make that game, then it may be around the same time.

#USF MBK coach Orlando Antigua hints to @JerryTipton about USF-Kentucky home-and-home series. (If USF gets UK in Sun Dome ... impressive)

Antigua on home-and-home series with UK: "I hope so. I hope to eventually work something out."
