Women's college basketball preview: USF Bulls at Seton Hall Pirates

. TONIGHT

USF women at Seton Hall

When/where: 7; Walsh Gymnasium, South Orange, N.J.

Radio: 1010-AM

Records: USF 12-5, 1-3 Big East; Seton Hall 7-11, 2-3

Notable: USF has never lost to Seton Hall since joining the Big East. It's a road win the Bulls should be able to get, with an RPI of 64 and Seton Hall at 221. … USF has two of the Big East's top five scorers in twin guards Andrea and Andrell Smith, averaging 18.2 and 16.7 points. … Seton Hall is the Big East's worst-shooting team at 35 percent from the field. Brittany Morris leads the team at 12.5 points per game. … USF is coming off a home loss; a foul with 0.3 seconds left and the score tied allowed Villanova to hit the winning free throws Saturday. … USF likely needs a winning record in Big East play to secure a berth in the NCAA Tournament, so lighter road games like this become must-wins.
