TAMPA, JAN. 17, 2017 – Prior to University of South Florida head coach Jose Fernandez’s arrival in 2000, the Bulls totaled seven winning seasons in their 28-year history. Since then, Fernandez has guided the Bulls to 12 postseason appearances, seven twenty-win seasons and a perennial power in the national polls. On Tuesday night, the all-time winningest coach in USF basketball history reached another milestone, 300 career wins, in the Bulls’ 79-49 victory over visiting Memphis in Sun Dome Arena.
A second half surge pushed USF (15-2, 4-1 The American) to its seventh 25-plus point win this season.
