TAMPA, AUG. 16, 2016 – Nazeem Bartman and Lindo Mfeka landed spots on the preseason all-conference team, while USF was picked to finish second in the American Athletic Conference preseason coaches’ poll.
USF received one first-place vote (41 points) and ranked just behind conference favorite SMU, which earned five first-place votes. Head coach George Kiefer’s Bulls are ranked No. 19 in the NSCAA poll after making their eighth NCAA tournament appearance in the past nine years.
Bartman was announced as a unanimous preseason all-conference pick almost a month after he was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy watch list.
