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).

A day before their exhibition versus the University of Tampa, Darek stopped by practice to chat with key returners on Defense and in the Midfield, along with a transfer goalkeeper from the University of Cincinnati.

(Note: as pictured, DeMarco wearing No. 5, Darko 55, Morris 4).

After two really tough-to-take losses women's basketball appeared headed for a third - that changed, thankfully, and we have all the highlights. Before that, Darek updates the 41 new football team members out of the portal and wraps up a great spring start for women's golf. He also gives you some brief thoughts on both baseball and softball's Media Day along with a preview of Wednesday night's men's hoops matchup at Tulane.

A couple weeks before first pitch, second-year Head Baseball Coach Mitch Hannahs gathered with the media to discuss the outlook for his squad, and we also heard from veteran hitters Rafael Betancourt and Lance Trippel.

(Note, the players actually spoke before Coach Hannahs hence some of the references to their comments, with coach).

Pretty full show for you on a Monday! Full highlights of the men's basketball squad's slimy win vs. FAU, along with Coach Hodgson's thoughts. The women started slow before nearly pulling off an amazing win in Boca. We'll check the conference standings and NET rankings for both squads. Also, men's tennis splits a pair in the heralded ITA kickoff event while the women's time compiled dozens of victories in the Tampa Cup. Finally, women's golf gets its spring off to a strong start.

Full highlights of an awesome win by the men's team Thursday starts the show. Big man Daimion Collins had his USF high in minutes played, points (14) while blocking 5 shots and Joseph Pinion carried the 3-point load with five makes as the Bulls avenged a 2-OT loss to the Blazers. Next, a matchup with rival, and first-place, Florida Atlantic. Speaking of FAU, Darek will be in Boca this weekend for the women's matchup with the Owls - they came up short against another set of Owls in Philly Tuesday despite some milestones being hit by a pair of post players.
