After a pair of big-time wins against then first-place Tulsa - the Bulls now reside by themselves in the American's top spot - and a dogfight at Wichita Wednesday the Head Coach joined host Jim Lighthall. Also on the show this week, big man (and 4.0 GPA carrying) Daimion Collins, and unsung hero Video Coordinator Max Wittenberg.

Darek recaps a Tuesday softball doubleheader where the Bulls had it all going on, previews a key Wednesday night in hoops, plus tennis and weekly track and field accolades.

A full weekend = almost a full hour of Bulls Beat! The first 45 minutes are devoted to big-time wins for both basketball squads, the men taking first place for themselves completing a season sweep of Tulsa, and the women fulfilling their most complete show of the conference slate thus far. Conference standings/NET rankings updated. Then, the rest of a busy weekend leading with lacrosse putting up 20 goals, softball turning things around with a dramatic Saturday, women's tennis coming SO close to win Number 1, and track and field posting great results in Chicago.

Softball is in the midst of a very busy opening weekend, Saturday alone will be packed on campus - and oh yeah Sunday is merely a battle for first place with men's basketball hosting Tulsa.

As heard live from the Yuengling Draft Haus and Kitchen - don't miss the next chance to be there Feb. 18 by the way! - Coach Hodgson discussed the Bulls' recent stretch, capped by a season high 109 points vs. UTSA, and previews a big one this Sunday vs. first-place Tulsa. Josh Omojafo joins for the second segment, followed by assistant coach Logan Ingram and a final chat between host Jim Lighthall and Coach Hodgson, including answering questions from the live audience!

A full 45 minutes, the first 20 or so from a wild one at the Yuengling Center Wednesday that saw the Bulls overcome a hot start from UTSA, paced by an incredible second half especially from a freshman. Earlier, the women led by 13 but could not hold on at ECU - Darek was there for the call and highlights the critical moments. Then some comments made by Head Football Coach Brian Hartline, and finally - softball begins and we already have our first schedule change due to weather!

Track and Field in two places, we give you a recap - and oh yeah, some comments on THAT hockey game at Raymond James with a special USF tie during the second intermission. Darek also gives you a full scoreboard/conference standings check for both basketball squads, along with an update on the men's tennis trip to California where they're taking on two (more) ranked teams. Show ends with the ending of a close defeat, along with some staggering numbers on just how narrow the margins have been in conference play.

Once again, PLENTY for Darek to catch you up on in USF athletics! A special Saturday show starts with the completion of the football schedule, before getting into Darek's recap of an impressive lacrosse exhibition showing Friday against Tampa. Track & Field sends athletes to both Louisville and Gainesville, while men's tennis faces a formidable foe in Santa Barbara. We finish with basketball, not only a conference standings update, a preview of the men's game at Temple along with a show-ending full highlight reel from the win Wednesday at Tulane.

The freshman who threatened for the individual title, and the 2nd-year Head Coach on the construction of a roster that looks like it has a big spring in store after finishing 6th in a strong field of 16 teams last weekend. (For more on that check out the Wednesday Bulls Beat elsewhere on the podcast page).

With softball starting NEXT Thursday the Bulls' longtime Head Coach Ken Eriksen let the gathered media - our Darek Sharp was on the lead mic - know how his team is looking. He's followed by three very productive veterans: outfielder Alexa Galligani (11:20 mark), spectacular defensive 2B Kathy Garcia-Soto (15:30) and pitcher Belle Sardja (20:10).
