South Florida Bulls Mens Basketball vs. Saint Leo Lions Mens Basketball

The first public look at Chris Mack's South Florida program comes in an exhibition against Division II Saint Leo at the Yuengling Center. Mack, who took Xavier and Louisville to the NCAA tournament before two 20-win seasons at the College of Charleston, was named the Bulls' 13th head coach this spring and rebuilt the roster with 15 newcomers; the American Conference's coaches still picked USF third in their preseason poll, and senior guard Sonny Wilson, a former Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year with all-MAC credentials, landed on the preseason all-conference first team. Last year's Saint Leo tune-up ended 120-63, so the interest lies less in the score than in how Mack's new pieces fit together before the regular season opens.
