Preview
The Stetson Hatters (6-4) will head down I-4 for a Wednesday matinee against in-state rival USF. The Bulls are ranked 16th in this week's AP Top 25 poll. Tip-off at the Yuengling Center is set for 11 a.m. with live coverage on ESPN+.

All-Time Series - 42nd Meeting
USF leads the all-time series 30-11 over Stetson. The Bulls have won 13 straight in the series, all coming in Tampa. The teams last met on Dec. 13, 2020, when USF defeated Stetson 85-43. Jamiya Turner led the Hatters with 10 points.

Last Time Out
Stetson cut a 20-point deficit all the way down to six, but Holy Cross held on down the stretch for a 65-50 victory Sunday afternoon at the Hart Center. The Hatters shot just 30 percent from the floor and 24 percent from the arc to fall for just the second time in the last seven games. The Crusaders (6-4) shot 47 percent, and their 65 points was a season-high for a Stetson opponent. Yazz Wazeerud-Din led the Hatters with 15 points, while Tatiana Streun recorded an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double.

1000-Point Milestone Approaching
Graduate forward Tatiana Streun is just five points shy of the 1000-point mark for her career. She scored 885 points as a member of the Portland State Vikings and now has 110 points in her first 10 games as a Hatter.

Road Warriors
Stetson will be playing its 11th game overall and ninth game on the road. The Hatters have been to Massachusetts, South Carolina, Texas, Miami, Orlando and now Tampa. However, the next four games willl be at home.

Overall Defense
The Hatters have held eight of their 10 opponents to under 60 points this season. ODU and Holy Cross are the only two teams to score 60+ points against Stetson. At 50.8 points allowed per game, Stetson's defense leads the ASUN and ranks 13th in the NCAA.

Rebounding Improvement
After ranking last in the ASUN in rebounding last season, the Hatters have made major strides in that area. Stetson currently ranks fifth in the league in rebounding (38.3 rpg) and second in rebound margin (+7.4). The Hatters have outrebounded seven of 10 opponents, and are 6-1 in those games.
