It wasn’t without its share of excitement, and heart-stopping moments, but the South Florida Bulls women’s basketball team won their first-ever regular season conference title on Tuesday night after defeating the Central Florida Golden Knights 65-62 inside the Yuengling Center.
The ghosts of every bad thing that has ever happened to USF Athletics reared its ugly head with 27 seconds left, and the Bulls up 11. A series of unfortunate events helped Reedy Creek University cut the lead to one with 1.6 seconds left, before Elisa Pinzan iced the game with two critical free throws.
It’s been a long time coming for head coach Jose Fernandez.
