USF to Play NJIT, Boston University Next Season


The games will be held in the Sun Dome and are a part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic

TAMPA, MAY 21, 2015 – USF men’s basketball will host NJIT and Boston University next season as part of its participation in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic.

The Bulls will play New Jersey Institute of Technology for the first time in school history on Monday, Nov. 16. The Highlanders finished last season with 21 wins, the most in program history in 20 years, and earned a bid to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. NJIT was led by All-American sophomore guard Damon Lynn, who averaged 17.6 points per game last season while on his way to becoming to the first 1,000-point scorer in program history.

USF will play Boston University for the first time in 18 years on Saturday, Nov. 21. The Terriers went 13-17 last season, one year removed from a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. BU will return All-Patriot League guard Cedric Hankerson who averaged 15.9 points to lead the team.

As previously announced, the first-ever Hoophall Miami Invitational at AmericanAirlines Arena will serve as the culmination of two multi-team events. The doubleheader held the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 27 will feature USF vs. Kentucky in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic and Ohio State vs. Memphis in the Basketball Hall of Fame Invitational. The two games will be televised by the ESPN family of networks.

Season ticket renewals are going on now through the USF ticket office. USF is also accepting new seat deposits for the 2015-16 campaign for $50 by calling 1-800-GO-BULLS.

Orlando Antigua is in his second season as USF’s head coach. The Bulls return seven players from last season including three starters. It was announced earlier this season that USF will play Kentucky on Nov. 27 in Miami at American Airlines Arena at the Hoophall Miami Invitational.
