Off season

During the off-season, there were several important milestones for the USF basketball program. In March, ground was broken on the Muma Basketball Center; a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m²), basketball practice facility, adjacent to the USF Sun Dome. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of spring 2011.^[2] In June, Dominique Jones became the highest player ever drafted to the NBA from USF. He was selected in the first round, as the 25th overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, and then traded to the Dallas Mavericks.^[3] In August, the team represented the United States in Brazil for the 2010 Pan American University Championships. They took home the silver medal, losing in the finals to Brazil, and finishing with a record of 4-1.^[4][5] At Big East Media day in October, the Bulls were selected to finish in 13th place in the Big East Preseason Coaches' Poll.^[6]
