Since I mentioned Gus Williams earlier today, a member of the 1973 USC basketball team, let’s once again appreciate him, including a rare color photo from his college career. You can make a case that Williams (1972-75) was the most successful player in USC history. An All-American in 1975 (which by itself puts him above many better-known players), Williams then enjoyed a stellar pro career, … Continue reading USC Picture Of The Day
A day after USC was not selected for the NCAA Tournament, Andy Enfield was in rare form Monday. He said it was not his decision whether USC accepted an NIT bid but USC’s administration that decided. He also did not make any players available to the media. Enfield also said it would be up to the players who might be draft picks to decide whether … Continue reading Andy Enfield Is Still Bitter
ESPN2 will have Dave Pasch and Bill Walton at the Galen Center on Tuesday for the USC-North Carolina-Asheville game. There might be about 8,000 less fans than were at the Galen Center for Walton’s last visit, the USC-UCLA game. Continue reading Bill Walton Back At The Galen Center

It also lost to Texas A&M and Oklahoma, who made the Tournament. It’s only victories vs. NCAA Tournament teams … Continue reading Blame Andy Enfield’s Stubborness For NCAA Woes
USC coach Clay Helton has hired Joe DeForest, who was special teams coach at Kansas last season. DeForest was the defensive coordinator at West Virginia in 2012 and then coached special teams from 2013-15. Since USC already has 10 assistant coaches, it will probably give DeForest some type of title like special teams quality control assistant. Maybe this hire will help last season’s dreadful special … Continue reading Former Kansas/West Virginia Assistant Joe DeForest Joins Staff
