Bulls guard expected at practice
By wire services
Published October 20, 2005
TAMPA - USF sophomore guard Collin Dennis, the Bulls' top returning scorer from last season, has not practiced since re-aggravating an Achilles tendon injury Saturday, basketball coach Robert McCullum said Wednesday.
Dennis, who started seven games and averaged 6.6 points a game as a freshman, is expected to return to practice today for non-contact drills. McCullum said he expects Dennis to make a full recovery in time for USF's exhibition opener against Saint Leo on Nov. 10.
The Bulls are also without freshman forward Zaronn Cann of Brandon, who underwent minor arthroscopic knee surgery three weeks ago. Cann has not participated in any contact drills with the team, and the timetable for his healthy return is uncertain.

30-million saw USC-ND
Southern California's last-second win over Notre Dame was seen by 30-million viewers, making it the most watched regular-season college football game in nine years.
NBC's coverage of the top-ranked Trojans' 34-31 victory on Saturday earned a 6.7 national rating.
SCOREBOARD SNAFU: The company that produces images and content for the Jumbotron at North Carolina State home games has apologized to the university for an offensive image that appeared onscreen during last week's game against Clemson.
CanesVision has reprimanded employees involved in the incident, a team official said. It was unclear how many employees were reprimanded, though none was fired.
The incident occurred during the Wolfpack's 31-10 loss to Clemson last Thursday. After several fans were featured on the video screen with titles such as "Kissing Cam" and "Fan Cam," an image appeared with the title "Mexi-Cam," according to an editorial in N.C. State's student newspaper, the Technician.
The person featured on the video screen was a CanesVision employee, and company director Pete Soto has sent a letter of apology to the university.
