USF Bulls Radio

NEW YORK – Thursday night Da'Sean Butler hit the game winner at the buzzer to get past Cincinnati. Saturday night, Butler did it again. The West Virginia Mountaineers survived with a 60-58 win over the Georgetown Hoyas as Butler scored his 20th point on a runner in the lane with 4.2 seconds left in the 2010 Men’s BIG EAST basketball tournament championship. West Virginia out rebounded Georgetown 38-24. Chris Wright, Greg Monroe and Austin Freeman combined for 45 of the 58 points scored for the Hoyas. The Mountaineers won their first ever BIG EAST Basketball Championship.

NEW YORK – The University of South Florida men’s basketball team may have bailed out early from the BIG EAST tournament in the second round against Georgetown, but the Bulls will be playing in the postseason for the first time since the 2001-02 season. After such a turnaround season, the disappointment for Bulls fans is that the first postseason game in eight years just may be held at the Sun Dome, instead of a neutral site in the NCAA tournament.

The question for USF is which postseason tournament will it be: the NCAA or the NIT? That answer won’t come until Sunday when the NCAA tournament bracket is revealed to the nation. The NIT isn't such a bad consolation, but the Bulls are still hoping for more.
