South Florida Looks at NCAA First Round as a Second Chance

TAMPA (March 13, 2023) – The USF women's basketball team didn't do much talking Sunday night. There were no bold proclamations or flamboyant guarantees.

But one thing became clear after the Bulls (26-6) were given a No. 8 seed and a first-round matchup against the No. 9 Marquette Golden Eagles (21-10) on Friday in the NCAA Tournament at Columbia, South Carolina.

The Bulls, regular-season champions of the American Athletic Conference, were wounded following last Tuesday's shocking defeat against Wichita State in the AAC Tournament quarterfinals. For a few days, they were probably dazed and confused.
