Off season

As of July 1, 2013, USF became a member of the American Athletic Conference, the result of a split in the old Big East.

USF was selected to participate in the 2013 Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic, which takes place December 22–23 at Orleans Arena.[3]

At American Athletic Conference Media day, USF was selected by the coaches to finish 8th out of 10. Senior forward, Victor Rudd, and junior point guard, Anthony Collins, were both selected at media day to the American Athletic Conference Preseason All-Conference Second Team.[4]
