The South Florida Bulls are off to a disappointing 7-9 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, tenth in the American Athletic Conference, and are on a three-game losing streak.
They suffered a defeat in their last game against the Wichita State Shockers (70-66) in their last outing, where Russel Tchewa and Tyler Harris could not save the day for their team even after scoring 19 and 16 points.
The Bulls will now take on the Houston Cougars, the top-most-ranked team in the country, first in the same conference, and are on a 16-1 start. They are currently on a big seven-game winning streak and defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats (72-59) in their previous outing.
Jarace Walker led the scoring chart with 21 points, followed by Marcus Sasser with 16, and J'wan Roberts with 14. The Cougars will now host this game at the Fertitta Center on Wednesday (January 11).
