Not a tough loss - that South Florida game was a total embarassment. USF was playing without their leading scorer and rebounder, out with a concussion. USF is the worst rebounding team in the Big East and they killed us on the boards. Not a very good three point shooting team and they more than outplayed us there. They beat us at our very strength - USF had 4 assists and 20 turnovers in their prior game against Syracuse and managed to outplay us in those areas also. Lots of unforced turnovers.
Unfortunately I concur that the remainder of the season is going to be tough with lots of quality guard play and pressure applied against us. SFU was not a very good team and we simply were not competitive, so the outlook is not favorable. Will be there to cheer them on nonetheless.
