The University of San Francisco men’s basketball team punched their ticket to the NCAA basketball tournament Sunday afternoon, marking their first return to March Madness since 1998.
Khalil Shabazz, Coach Todd Golden and Jamaree Bouyea speak at a post-Selection Show press conference.
“It’s one thing to kind of strive for, it’s another thing to actually accomplish it and we made history. That’s something that I’ll be super proud of for the rest of my life,” said head coach Todd Golden. The Dons were projected to play in the tournament, but Sunday’s festivities made their status official. “We’re definitely happy to be here but we want to be in the tournament to win games, as well,” said Jamaree Bouyea, a team-leading guard who returned to the program for his fifth and final season. “I don’t think this is the end of our journey…going into this tournament, we want to win games as much as possible.
