On Dec. 30, Rutgers defeated No. 19 Texas 63-49, but dropped a close game to No. 13 Michigan State 73-71 on Sunday.The Bulls are familiar with close games, having lost to Pittsburgh 66-64 on Sunday. USF has had trouble with Top 10-ranked opponents this season, losing to No. 3 LSU, No. 4 North Carolina and No. 9 Michigan State, averaging 52.4 points against those teams.
Keep an eye on: Cappie Pondexter. The senior guard is averaging 21.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game this season. No stranger to accolades, Pondexter was chosen as the Big East Conference’s Preseason Player of the Year. She also has her own Web site, www.cappie25.com.
