South Florida Women’s Basketball vs. AR- Pine Bluff

Arkansas–Pine Bluff's turnaround under Erica Leak is the storyline: after a 3–25 first season, the Golden Lions went 15–16, finished fifth in the SWAC and reached the conference tournament semifinals, producing the league's Newcomer of the Year along the way. South Florida answers with size. The Bulls added 6-foot-3 forwards Mallory Collier, from NC State, and Kendall Puryear, from Purdue, whom coach Kristy Curry expects to produce double-doubles regularly, and sophomore center Lana Vukcevic returns at 6-foot-5.
