Capping off his career on the Hilltop with an exclamation point, Bouyea guided the Dons to a 24-8 regular season record in 2021-22 and USF's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1997-98.

After his five years in the green and gold, Bouyea left USF as one of the most accomplished athletes in program history as he is the program's all-time wins leader (98 wins) alongside being first all-time in games played (160).
