While basketball news is slow I thought I'd send this, I know it's not Bearcat news but it does have an C-USA flavor. I was surfing the school sites of Syracuse and Kansas before the championship game and read this article called "Jake's Take: The Challenge of Scheduling Games" where Jake Crouthamel, the leader of the Syracuse University Department of Athletics (28 years) discusses the problems and conflicts of trying to coordinate the creation of their sports schedules. This letter is in relation to their schedules from 2001-2002, not this season. The end contained this reference to South Florida's basketball team, whose coach Seth "Greenback" Greenberg recently took the Virginia Tech job. Seth landed a Big East job after leading S. Florida to two NIT tournaments (zero NCAA). Greenberg has some familiarity with the area from his work as an assistant at Virginia for Terry Holland when they danced all the way to the Final-Four (1983-84). Seth is a east coast guy and promised to recruit the Big East corridors well. This article is interesting and has an ending, unlike some of Seth's sentences:)

"On paper, one of the toughest games on our schedule this coming year will be with Conference-USA member South Florida. The name may not conjure up a great deal of excitement in terms of the perceived quality. However, it doesn't take much research to learn that this team might be one of the better teams we face all year, should compete for the Conference USA championship, and may find itself in a good position to make a solid NCAA tournament run."
