TAMPA, Fla. (February 13, 2024) – The first-place USF men's basketball team is making history — a 17-5 record for the first time ever, a nine-game winning streak, 10 conference victories already, and the growing possibility of March Madness.

One of the biggest reasons for this turnaround?

It's a player who rarely captures the biggest headlines, but whose impact cannot be denied.

He's Brandon Stroud, a 6-foot-6, 215-pound left-handed senior who's the last guy any opponent wants to see in the lane. With the wingspan of a 7-footer, quick hands, cat-like instincts, and ferocious rebounding talent, Stroud has matured into the player who continually sparks the Bulls.
