DAYTONA BEACH (November 20, 2022) – The University of South Florida Bulls play the first of two games on Monday against UAB at the Ocean Center as part of the 2022 Sunshine Slam.
South Florida is looking to snap a four-game skid to begin the season and avoid the team's first 0-5 loss since the start of the 1987 campaign.
The UAB Blazers are a familiar foe from the Sun Belt (1979-91) and Conference USA (1995-2005), although the sides haven't seen each other since 2015. UAB will rejoin USF as a conference mate in the AAC next season.
Despite their record, the Bulls have been in every contest they've played this season, losing by a combined total of 14 points (3.5 ppg).
The Blazers are coming off a 92-61 victory over Presbyterian in their first round game of the Sunshine Slam played on their campus. UAB is averaging 96 points offensively on the young season, but have yet to face a stout defense like USF (allowing 65.3 ppg).
UAB won the Conference USA title a year ago with a program-record 27 wins and reached the NCAA Tournament. The Blazers return eight players from that team, including four starters.
South Florida will face off against either Georgia or Saint Joseph's on Tuesday at either 4 or 6:30 p.m.

About USF Men's Basketball
The USF men's basketball team is led by head coach Brian Gregory, who enters his sixth season in 2022-23. 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 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.
