Game Notes: USF | Marquette | Updated BIG EAST

TAMPA - The University of South Florida women's basketball team will look to get back on the winning track while kicking off a three-game road stretch, the longest of the Bulls' conference season. USF travels to Milwaukee, Wis. to face Marquette on Feb. 9 at 9 p.m. (ET)/8 p.m. (CT) in a nationally televised game on CBS College Sports.

This current three-game stretch, for the "green and gold" is the second of the season for USF. The Bulls went 3-0 earlier this season on a west coast road trip, defeating Montana (63-53) on Nov. 27 and Loyola Marymount (77-71 ot) on Nov. 28 in the Courtyard by Marriott L.A. Thanksgiving Classic, and UC Irvine (78-66) on Nov. 30

The Bulls will try to regroup from a tough 60-52 loss to Rutgers on Saturday. Jessica Lawson had a career day against Rutgers on Feb. 6. Lawson, the teams lone double-figure scorer against the Scarlet Knights, poured in a career-high 33 points while also grabbing 10 rebounds, recording three steals and blocking two shots in 34 minutes of action. It was her 12th double-double of the season and the 22nd of her collegiate career. She comes into the Marquette game just 25 poin ts shy of becoming the 17th player in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.

Despite the loss to the Scarlet Knights, the Bulls have won four of their last six games, coming into their meeting with Marquette, after starting league action 0-3 with losses to No. 1/1 Connecticut (84-42), RV/No. 25 Georgetown (66-52) and No. 3/3 Notre Dame (81-64). Besides the loss to Rutgers, USF's only other setback during the previous six-game stretch was a tough 57-55 loss to RV/RV St. John's in Madison Square Garden on Jan. 23.
