The Dons will face Murray State in the first round of the tournament.
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 13: University of San Francisco’s Gabe Stefanini celebrates with teammates after their NCAA Tournament selection at the Sobrato Center in USF in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, March 13, 2022. SAN FRANCISCO — There was cheering from a crowd of about 1,000 fans at the Sabrato Center but no real surprise Sunday when the USF basketball team was selected to play in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998.
What the Dons want to celebrate next is a victory in college basketball’s three-week season-ending party. They haven’t experienced that since 1979. “It’s unexplainable,” senior guard Khalil Shabazz said, when asked to describe his emotions. “Just seeing our name up there . . . to see it come in reality, I’m in shock. My hands are shaking.”“It’s kind of crazy that they haven’t been back in 24 years,” said Thomas, who scored 15 points in the Dons’ 85-68 loss to third-seeded Utah in their NCAA opener.
