TAMPA, Fla., December 7, 2025 – University of South Florida junior guard Joe Pinion has been named to The American Conference's Weekly Honorable Mention list for Player of the Week following his performance in the Bulls' 74–61 win over then No. 19 NET-ranked Utah State.
Pinion led the Bulls with 17 points on six-for-10 shooting, including five-for-nine from three, while adding three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in a team-high 35 minutes.
His five made threes marked his third game this season with five or more threes, further cementing his role as one of South Florida's most reliable perimeter scorers.
Behind Pinion's efficient scoring and two-way effort, South Florida secured its highest NET-ranked win in program history and improved its early-season NET position to the highest in program history, reaching No. 60.
