The Bulls, under second-year head coach Brian Gregory, will open up conference play at the Yuengling Center on January 2 against UConn.
Other highlights include Wichita State’s first trip to Tampa on January 22, an 8 p.m. primetime matchup on CBS Sports Network.
USF will matchup with rival UCF for the first time on February 13 in Orlando in the “War On I-4”. The Knights will make the return visit to Tampa late in the season on February 27 at 7 p.m.
In the final month, USF will open up a two-game road trip with a visit to UConn on March 3 for a noon tip and Tulane on March 6. The regular season finale, and Senior Day, will be March 10 at home versus SMU at 4 p.m. on ESPNU.
The 2019 American Athletic Conference Championship Tournament is scheduled for March 14-17 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN.
All 18 of the Bulls conference games are scheduled to be nationally televised on either the ESPN family of networks or CBS Sports Network.
Before AAC conference play gets rolling, the Bulls will play through a fairly favorable non-conference schedule that begins on November 6 against Alabama A&M at the Yuengling Center.
