SAN ANTONIO, MARCH 23, 2021 – Sweet season. Sour finish. USF's history-making journey came to a frustrating conclusion Tuesday when the No. 8-seeded Bulls fell against No. 1-seeded N.C. State 79-67 in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament's second round at San Antonio's Alamodome. The Bulls (19-4), champions of the American Athletic Conference, fell short of the first Sweet 16 appearance in program history, capping a season filled with exhilarating victories and weathering a 31-day shutdown due to COVID-19. "A lot of people look at it that way that we had a great season, but we didn't want to end this way,'' said an emotional USF coach Jose Fernandez.
