As Minnesota fans adjusted to Mallory Heyer’s “I’m leaving the team” announcement, South Florida fans were learning of 25 year head coach Jose Fernandez’s departure to the Dallas Wings. It wasn’t a complete surprise. Fernandez was one of the finalists for the Wings job last season.
Fernandez was replaced by interim head coach Michele Woods-Baxter now entering her 18th season with the Bulls. Woods-Baxter has already reached one milestone from last season’s 23-11 (13-4 in conference) team. USF defeated Duke for the second consecutive year. South Florida appears poised to remain one of the better mid-majors.
This season’s record is 3-2 with wins over FIU 81-56, LIU 79-72 and Duke 85-72 and loses to Fairfield 72-80 and UCLA 61-94 in Las Vegas.
Here’s a recap of the win over the Blue Devils:
