HOUSTON, Texas, – Feb. 22, 2026 – Twenty victories. It has always represented a meaningful basketball milestone.
The South Florida men's basketball team (19-8, 11-3 American Conference) can get there for the seventh time in program history — on Feb. 25, no less — by defeating the Rice Owls (11-16, 5-9) on Wednesday night at Tudor Fieldhouse. But that's only part of USF's record-smashing season.
Winning at Rice would be USF's eighth road victory, tying the program record set in 2023-24 (and setting up a potential record-breaking No. 9 road victory at Memphis on March 5).
