The men's basketball schedule for the 2008-09 season is now online here. The Argos will face Division I opponent South Florida in Tampa in an exhibition on November 4 to start the year, and Head Coach Don Hogan was quoted in USF's story detailing the Bulls' exhibition schedule.

"We're looking forward to playing USF. They've got a great program in the Big East and we certainly expect them to be an excellent team,” said West Florida head coach Don Hogan. "We've got a couple players in Derek Duggins and Nate Johnson that are from the Tampa area, so it will be a big thrill for them. We also have plenty of former West Florida players and alumni in the area that will have a chance to see us play for the first time in a while."
