USF Men’s Basketball Team

TAMPA, Fla. ( — The University of South Florida men’s basketball team continues to make history as they advanced their win streak to 13 games after defeating Southern Methodist University Sunday night.

With USF’s 79-68 victory over SMU, the Bulls now hold the second-longest active winning streak in the NCAA. The 13-game win streak is also the longest in program history, surpassing the 12-game streak set during the 1980-81 season.

“We’ve been good for weeks and even months,” said Tyler Moss, a senior at USF. “We knew this was going to be a really special year for us. Getting national recognition is really important.”

As if the team couldn’t keep reaching milestones, on Monday, the basketball team cracked the Associated Press’ Top 25 Men’s College Basketball Poll at No. 25, marking the first time in program history that the Bulls reached the Top 25. The Bulls play Charlotte Saturday and Tulane Tues at 7p.m.
