Bulls to Host Florida College Feb. 19 at 4 p.m.
TAMPA FEB. 6, 2019 – USF Vice President of Athletics
Michael Kelly announced Wednesday that the USF men's basketball team has added a game to its 2018-19 schedule and will host Florida College on Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 4 p.m. at the Yuengling Center.
The game will take the place of USF's previously scheduled matchup at Charlotte that was cancelled earlier this season on Dec. 9 due to travel complications caused by Winter Storm Diego.
Admission and parking will be free and seating will be general admission. Doors will open at 3 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live on Bulls Unlimited. Fans are encouraged to remain on campus at the conclusion of the game and attend the USF baseball game against No. 6 Florida at 6:30 p.m.
"It's unfortunate we weren't able to reschedule our game against Charlotte, but I think it's important for a team as young as ours to play the maximum number of games allocated by the NCAA," USF head coach
Brian Gregory said. "We're excited to play this game early on Tuesday so that our fans can enjoy our game and still walk over to the USF Baseball Stadium to watch Coach
Billy Mohl and his team host Florida."
USF owns a 15-6 overall record and is 5-4 in league play and travels to Dallas on Thursday for a 9 p.m. matchup at SMU on ESPNU.

About USF Men's Basketball
The USF men's basketball team is led by head coach Brian Gregory. On March 22, 2017, Gregory was introduced as the 10th head coach in program history. He previously led programs at Georgia Tech (2011-16) and Dayton (2003-11). Gregory spent nearly a decade as an assistant coach under Michigan State's Hall of Fame head coach Tom Izzo and helped the Spartans win the 2000 NCAA National Championship. Gregory brings nearly 250 career head coaching wins and six postseason appearances, including the 2010 NIT Championship, to Tampa. In his first season at the helm of the Bulls, Gregory led the team to its first 10-plus win season since 2013-14.
USF has retired three numbers in its 47-year history: Chucky Atkins (12), Charlie Bradley (30) and Radenko Dobras (31). The Bulls have earned three NCAA tournament bids and appeared in the NIT eight times.
