For the second consecutive year, the USF women’s basketball season came to a screeching halt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Tallahassee. This time though, it was worse. Incredibly worse. The sixth-seeded Bulls were run off the court by a different Bulls squad from Buffalo, 102-79.
“Buffalo was special tonight. This is what sports is all about,” head coach Jose Fernandez said. “We make no excuses. We got beat by a better team today. I think our kids battled, they fought, they played hard and they competed but we ran into a team that was very, very good today from all facets.
