Well, whatever tickets you want to give me, I will make sure that they are used by someone. You can PM me with your telephone number and I will call you to discuss.

Well, I've never done it here, but it seems like if you click on the inbox at the top of this page, you can have a conversation with someone by typing in the screen name of that person.

The easiest way to PM someone is to click on their name on one of their posts - a box will pop up with some info and options including 'Start a Conversation' - click on that and you transfer to a page with the PM already addressed. This also the spot where you can choose to ignore a poster you dislike or 'follow' a poster you like.

[As you discovered already - you can access conversations in your inbox and start a single or multi-person conversation.]
 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hopeful that USF will be ranked this week in at least one of the major polls.

It's still very early in the season to predict whether USF will be selected for the big dance.

Of the six new players on our roster, only one, Tamara Henshaw, has really had an impact and that is mostly on defense and rebounding.

Three of them haven't played at all.

E. Penhadzic will be lost for the season due to an ACL injury.

Another, N. DeJesus is coming off knee surgery and is expected to start playing within a few games.

The last one, S. Leverett is healthy, but for whatever reason our coach has not seen fit to play her.

The other two who have played, J. Bond and D Nagy, have been getting some floor time, but haven't contributed much.

So, we are mainly relying on our returning players to put up points.

Laksa has been amazing averaging 25.3 ppg and Pujo with 19 ppg. Two other players, Jesperson 9.8 ppg and Flores at 9.3 ppg are solid contributers as well.

L Ferreira, who was expected to be a main contributor, has a chronic foot injury. Despite that, she has been playing limited minutes and has contributed mostly on defense. So, her presence in the lineup will likely be a day to day thing depending on how she feels.

Our schedule, does not provide many opportunities to impress.

The Play4Kay tourney might be one such, depending on who we end up playing.

Aside from UCONN, the only other marquee game on our schedule is Louisville in Tampa on 1/22 .

Beating UL would go a long way in solidifying our resume.

I watched them play South Carolina yesterday. Of course, SoCal (like UCONN) can make even very good teams look bad.

It's long way from now to playing that game and things can change.

Having said that, based on where we both are today, Massey gives USF a 54% chance of beating UL (68-66).

Winning THAT game might punch our ticket to the dance.

Seems that USF is doing a good job of moving on after graduating their star. I really hope you all can make some more noise for the AAC. Between you and Temple, and a few other programs that seem to be improving, the AAC has the feel of the early years of the BE. I think we have pretty good coaching in the conference and with just a little improvement in recruiting success this could become an interesting conference. Having a couple of teams consistently ranked should help the others with recruiting and attendance as well.

From now to Dec 19 USF has a weak schedule. So, it wouldn't be that surprising to see USF at 8-0.

The brackets have been posted for the Play4Kay tourney, in Vegas, Dec 19-21.

#26/26 USF opens play against Long Beach State. If we win, we'd likely play Oklahoma State who is currently receiving votes in both polls. A win there and we likely would face #18/24 Oregon State for the championship. So, we will get a chance to improve our resume.

If USF runs the table there, we would be 11-0 and most likely ranked around #15.

We then have three more games where we should be favorites before playing @Uconn.

So, best case scenario, we could be 14-0 and ranked close to top 10 when we meet. That would be so SWEET! :)

Since USF will have little to no opportunity in the next few weeks to beat any ranked teams, those eager to see USF break into the polls may have a rooting interest in a game that just got underway in College Station (at 11:00 am local time, on "elementary school day," with lots of kiddos in attendance): Texas A&M, currently #25 in the AP poll, is hosting Southern Cal. Game on SEC Network+.

And USC pulls the "upset" (though I honestly don't think A&M should've been ranked in the first place).

Sadie Edwards, formerly of UConn, came off the bench to score 18 for USC, including the go-ahead bucket with 0:40 to go.

Nice.

In the coaches poll they were ranked #25 last week and moved up to #19. So, they might get knocked out of that ranking as well.

USC doesn't appear to be receiving votes in either poll. So, I don't think they will jump over USF, who is #26 in both polls.

USF is 6-0.

It wasn't pretty.

We got off to a very slow start on the road and trailed 1-10.

Final score: USF 74 Butler 59.

Now it sounds like you are supporting a serious team! :)
When fans start complaining about style points it indicates the final score is already assumed and the quality of play has become the important evaluation. Go BULLS! :cool:

USF had some struggles last year playing on the road, and I was nervous for them when I saw that slow start. Butler, based on its performance so far this season (losses to some extremely beatable teams), shouldn't have been making this so interesting. But what matters is they recovered. Good win in the end.
