About

University of South Florida Bulls at Yuengling Center

The Bulls men's basketball team saw their home undergo a name change to the Yuengling Center in July 2018. It had been called the University of South Florida Sun Dome since 1980. The Yuengling Center can hold 10,411 fans. The rebranding was fueled by a 10-year naming rights deal between the university and D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc, owner of a venerated brewery near the USF campus in Tampa, Florida.

USF Bulls Men's Basketball History

The first season of the men's basketball team came in 1971, with its first Division I campaign coming in 1973-74 as an independent. The Bulls remained independent until joining the Sun Belt Conference from 1976 to 1991. From there, USF competed in the Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference (1991-95), Conference USA (1995-2005) and Big East (2005-13). The Bulls have since played within the American Athletic Conference.

Head coach Brian Gregory, who'd previously coached at Dayton and Georgia Tech, arrived in Tampa in 2017. The 2018-19 team under Gregory set the all-time program record for wins in a single season with 24-14.

Bobby Paschal was the program's all-time winningest head coach despite having a losing 127-159 overall record from 1987 to 1996. Paschal guided the Bulls to two NCAA tournament appearances, as a No. 15 seed in 1990 and a No. 11 in 1992.

ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg coached the Bulls from 1996 to 2003 before leaping to the Virginia Tech Hokies. At USF, Greenberg went 108-100 but never made the NCAA tournament.

Charlie Bradley is the most heralded Bulls men's basketball alumnus. Bradley's No. 30 became the first retired jersey number in program history on Feb. 14, 1987. He was the all-time leading scorer, with 2,319 career points from 1981-85.

USF, founded in 1956, had as its original nickname the Golden Brahmans because of Florida's cattle industry. It was shortened to the Bulls in the late '80s.

    We were told we purchased the best seats available, but there were many (more than a thousand) much better seats unoccupied for the entire game.

    USF vs UCONN

    by KJUC on 1/9/15USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    With seats available in lower arena, was wondering why only seats available when we went online were in row X in upper section

    PICK BETTER SEATS

    by WTFITZ on 3/5/14USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    This is my third trip to the Sun Dome.The first two trips were great. Nice clean,spacious,facility,with very good parking.Traffic arriving & leaving was very well directed.Seats are comfortable with good viewing. USF puts on a good show,with lots of cheerleaders etc.They badly need venders in the isles in sections 202 & 203 [plus maybe others] People were needing something to drink,but these sections are too hard to get to,so no one wanted to go to the refreshment stands or bathrooms. Especially don't buy tickets in these sections if you are elderly.

    First time at USF to see a basketball game. I don't think there is a bad seat in this place. Great time to watch an exciting game.

    We took our daughter for her 13th birthday and her bff. We all had a great time. Everyone was very nice and fun. We will definitely attend another basketball game. It was also good for the girls to see university students in action. We arrived early enough to sit in on a coupe of innings of girls softball.

    Fun USF Family Day

    by xominimo on 2/18/14USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    It was a fun game! Close until the end when UCF got that last night to win by one point. Regardless, I'm a bull for life and will always love my bulls. It was another great family day at USF.

    Go Cards

    by Liberty1 on 1/28/14USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    I had never been to the Sun Dome it is really nice! The parking was easy thought expensive. At The O'Connell Stadium it's free in Gainsville but the Dome is nice and being a Tampa Resident will definitely return!

    A pleasure to access and see my favorite team play. Staff was helpful and informative. I knew ahead of time that my seats were higher than I am used to. Thank you for providing me access.

    USF Basketball is very exciting!

    by SueBQ1977 on 1/21/14USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    The game was a challenge and it was great to see them play the Cincinnati Bearcats (near my hometown). Just being with a college group can be invigorating.

    Unfriendly arena

    by Mike3925 on 3/8/13USF Sun Dome - Tampa

    UConn played without two key players which made the score lopsided in favor of the Bulls. I guess the renovation created a few new seats, but getting to and from seats on the 2nd tier was a real chore. All the way up to the top, across the back of a section or two then back down to the bottom to get to the restrooms or food stands

    The USF Basketball team was uninspired and played a lackluster game. Very disappointed.
