Note-A-Bulls:
L'or Mputu is one of seven DI players since the beginning of last season to have at least 1,000 minutes played, 8.0 per game, and a 58.0 field-goal percentage. She has at least one offensive rebound and one made field goal in 33 straight games, the third-longest active streak among all Division I players. The only USF player with a longer streak this century was Courtney Williams, who had a 37-game run (2013-14 and 2014-15).
 
Fatou Diakite came off the bench in her last game and recorded 12 points, seven rebounds, two steals, three blocks, and zero turnovers. The only other USF reserve since 2000-01 to reach those marks in a game was Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu (Nov. 22, 2021).
 
Stefanie Ingram has recorded at least three assists in all 10 games this season. That is tied for the second-longest streak to begin a campaign by any USF player this century (Shantia Grace in 2005-06) behind Elisa Pinzan's 21-game stretch to begin 2020-21. She has accounted for 41.7 percent of the team's assists this season, the highest share in the American and 13th highest among all DI players. The last USF player to finish a season with a higher share of the category was Elisa Pinzan in 2020-21 (43.2%). Ingram is one of eight DI players this season who have at least 60 assists and 10 made threes. The only other USF players this century to reach those marks through 10 games of a season are Elisa Pinzan (2020-21, 2021-22), Laia Flores (2017-18), and Shantia Grace (2005-06).
 
Katie Davidson is the third USF player this century to have at least 100 points and 11 or fewer turnovers through their first 10 career games with the Bulls, joining Tamara Taylor (2013) and Janae Stokes (2008).

The Bulls have made at least 10 free throws in 13 straight games dating back to last season, tied for the fifth-longest active streak in DI. That is the longest run for USF since a 16-game stretch between November 2014 and January 2015.
 
South Florida is a perfect 46-0 since 2000-01 when scoring at least 90 points. The Bulls are one of 11 DI teams with at least 45 wins without a loss in such games over that period.
 
USF's active roster has played in a combined 829 games at the Division I level. That is the most among all American Conference teams and ninth in Division I.
