Bayron Matos, USF's freshman power forward, is a big man, a rock-hard 6-foot-9, 265-pounder. Basketball players might think twice about mixing it up with him.

Just imagine what he was like on the baseball diamond.

It might seem improbable. When the Bulls (1-0) face Georgia Southern (1-0) in Saturday's noon men's basketball game at the Yuengling Center, you'll see the Matos who instinctively grabs rebounds, barges inside for baskets and establishes firm position.
