TV/radio: BHSN; 1250-AM

Records: USF 9-7, 2-1 Big East; Notre Dame 10-6, 2-1

Notable: The Bulls will be hard-pressed to continue their momentum, going up against a 28-game home win streak. … USF has gotten strong play from junior G Jawanza Poland, whose 20 points at Villanova gave him the team scoring lead at 11 per game. … Notre Dame Gs Eric Atkins (13.1 ppg) and Jerian Grant (13.4) are the top scorers, and 6-9 F Jack Cooley went 9-for-10 for a career-high 18 points against the Bulls last season.
