Kent St vs South Florida preview and gamethread

[Triple B]

Luckily the team doesn't need a crowd to feed off of ... Looks like the students all headed home to be sure to make it back for the game Saturday. 

FAU may have more fans there than us Friday ... Holiday hoops games suck from that perspective but the tradeoff is the players can at least be in their home away from home for the holiday.

Eventually the lack of fan support is going to cost USF a good coach, somebody who actually cares and really tries hard to build a winner out of almost nothing. We don't know how much the lack of fan support has hurt Stan Heath's recruiting. I can tell you from following recruiting that topic does get brought up by opposing coaches going after the same player. Heath counters by saying to the recruits that you can be the one to come here(Death Valley) and help bring the fans out. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't.

Heath comes from Michigan St and the Big 10 where the crowd support is awesome every game in every city. Heath also enjoy very good crowd support at Arkansas. I'm telling you he is very disturbed by the pitiful support he gets. Some people will use the excuse, "well if they start winning then I'll come." Have about come anyway and help the team win.

People ought to know that once Heath takes this team to the NIT he will start getting job offers, get USF to the NCAAT then he can pick his next head coaching job.

Unless Woolard pulled the wool over his eyes there is absolutely no reason Heath should be disturbed by the lack of support up to this point. If woolard didn't level with him during the hiring process, shame on him. Get the hoops training facility and SunDome renovations done and the job will be a lot more attractive than it is now .... and the crowds will come if we're a consistent winner ....... hopefully.
