The USF Bulls (7-7, 0-1 AAC) opened American Athletic Conference play tonight with a 79-60 loss to the Houston Cougars (11-2, 1-0 AAC).
“Give them credit, they beat us,” USF head coach Brian Gregory said. “But we didn’t wilt when we could’ve ... Our guys, we fought ... Probably could’ve caved in early and didn’t.”
Before the game tipped, we were told that USF guard Payton Banks would not play due to “illness” which instantly made me low key sick myself. Going against a 10-2 team without one of our leading scorers? I faint.
