South Florida Bulls

The South Florida Bulls play home games at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, a program that has quietly built momentum in the American Athletic Conference. As one of the younger Division I basketball programs in the country, USF has had to work hard for national recognition, but a 2026 conference tournament title and NCAA bid showed the program breaking through after a long drought. The Bulls represent a growing basketball identity in a football-and-baseball-heavy sports market. Tampa fans have increasingly embraced the program's rise.

USF basketball was founded in 1971, and the Bulls have made four NCAA Tournament appearances: 1990, 1992, 2012, and 2026. The 2026 American Athletic Conference tournament championship ended a 36-year title drought for the program and secured USF's most recent trip to the NCAA Tournament, marking a significant milestone in the program's history.
