TAMPA, Fla. -- College basketball officially starts Oct. 15, but for the University of South Florida Bulls men’s basketball team, the season starts now. The Bulls are in the gym at 6 a.m. conditioning to get a step ahead of their competition.
The goal for any college basketball program is making the NCAA tournament. The Bulls watched their most successful season in eight years fall as they lost to the Georgetown Hoyas in the second round of the Big East tournament last March.
