CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (November 29, 2021) – The University of South Florida Bulls (3-2) travel up the east coast for their first true road game of the season for a matchup against Boston College (4-3) on Monday night at 7 p.m.

South Florida's only other game away from the Yuengling Center this season was at Amalie Arena against nationally-ranked Auburn on November 19.

The Bulls and Eagles are playing the second game of a home-and-home series that began in Tampa during the 2019-20 season. Boston College won that meeting, 74-60. No current players on either USF or Boston College played in that contest.

Caleb Murphy (12.0 ppg) and Javon Greene (9.2) have led South Florida in scoring over the first five games of the young season. Greene also has a team-high 5.2 rebounds per game. Murphy leads the way with 17 assists.

USF enters Monday night's tilt ranked seventh in the NCAA in scoring defense (54.2 ppg), 28th in field goal percentage defense (37.5%) and is limiting teams to a 26.3% effort from three-point range.

Boston College is averaging 68.3 points per game thus far and is coming off a 73-60 win over Columbia which snapped a three-game skid. The Eagles are 4-0 at home inside Conte Forum this season.

About USF Men's Basketball

The USF men's basketball team is led by head coach Brian Gregory, who enters his fifth season in 2021-22. Gregory was introduced as the 10th head coach in program history in March of 2017 after previously leading 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 owns over 300 career head coaching wins and six postseason appearances, including the 2010 NIT Championship with Dayton. In his second season at the helm of the Bulls, Gregory led the team to the best win turnaround in the NCAA, the most single-season wins in school history and the 2019 College Basketball Invitational championship. 
 
USF has retired three numbers in its 48-year history: Chucky Atkins (12), Charlie Bradley (30) and Radenko Dobras (31). The Bulls have earned three NCAA tournament bids, appeared in the NIT eight times and won the 2019 College Basketball Invitational.
