TAMPA, MAY 1, 2018 – The priority renewal period for USF men's and women's basketball season ticket members begins on May 1 with some exciting new options to choose from.
 
The first 25 season ticket accounts to renew their tickets for either USF men's or women's basketball for the 2018-19 season will receive an authentic game-issued Bulls basketball jersey. The priority renewal period for basketball runs until June 1.
 
USF alumni, faculty and staff will receive a 20 percent discount on the ticket portion of both men's and women's basketball tickets when renewing or placing a deposit to renew prior to the June 1 deadline. The discount falls to 10 percent after the deadline.
 
Fans are encouraged to visit USFBullsTix.com or Ticketmaster or call 1-800-GoBulls to renew their season tickets prior to the June 1 deadline.
 
New for 2018-19 is a $99 men's basketball season ticket in the 200 level of the Sun Dome, a value at less than $6 per game, and an $89 women's basketball season ticket, a value at less than $7 per game. Men's basketball season tickets also feature new lower prices for courtside seats, loge suites, green sections 113 and 114, and orange sections 107, 108 and 109.
 
The Fifth Third Bank Club in the Sun Dome will also feature new season ticket opportunities. Fans may now purchase bar railing seats in the Fifth Third Bank Club in both men's and women's basketball season ticket packages for the 2018-19 season and reserve their spot in one of the most prime viewing locations in the Sun Dome. Men's and women's basketball fans may also now purchase a season ticket in sections 101-104 that features a pregame buffet in the Fifth Third Bank Club.
 
Head coach Jose Fernandez's women's team will look to post its seventh straight 20-plus win season in 2018-19 after posting a regular season record 26 wins in 2017-18. The Bulls will return senior guard Kitija Laksa, who set a junior scoring record last season with 717 points while posting 21.1 points per game and earning first team all-conference honors. Laksa helped lead the Bulls to a fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance last season.

Head coach Brian Gregory's men's team made clear strides in 2017-18 to post 10 wins, the program's most since the 2013-14 season despite the addition of 10 new players entering the year. Freshman David Collins, who earned conference all-rookie team honors, is among a strong core of returning Bulls that played major minutes last year. They will be joined by three players – guards T.J. Lang and Laquincy Rideau and forward Alexis Yetna – that sat out last season as well as a strong recruiting class.
