Its regular season finished, USF now has the rest of the weekend to consider its postseason fate, and the rest of the millenium to contemplate arguably the most critical gaffe of the year.
The Bulls (33-24-1) stranded 10 of their own base runners and neglected a heady one for Memphis in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Tigers (37-20) in an American Athletic Conference tournament elimination game at Bright House Field.
As a result, Monday's noon NCAA Tournament selection show could be a fidget fest for USF. The No. 4-seeded Bulls possess a solid RPI (27) and a schedule ranked ninth nationally by WarrenNolan.
