TAMPA, Fla. (November 4, 2024) – When the USF Bulls open the men's basketball season Monday night against the No. 21-ranked Florida Gators, it's obviously a big-time occasion.
The Bulls must manage their emotions after the October 24 sudden passing of head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim. As difficult as it might be, interim head coach Ben Fletcher said the players intend to make it business as usual, mostly because Coach Amir wouldn't have it any other way.
It's usually notable when the Bulls and Gators compete in any sport — and it's always extra sweet when USF can grab a victory against UF.
