USC Morning Buzz: Game-Time Decision On Injury

Forward Vincent Iwuchukwu (back) watched today’s open practice at Nationwide Arena in his pajamas. He is expected to be a game-time decision.

Teams also practice off site so it’s possible Iwuchukwu will participate later today.

  • Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said Boogie Ellis is as good as any guard the Spartans faced this season.

Izzo said he is concerned about Big Ten teams in the NCAA Tournament.

“I worry a little bit. I think we beat the hell out of each other,” he said. “We really did. Sometimes that can help you. Others, it can hurt you.”

Izzo was the last Big Ten coach to win an NCAA championship, in 2000.

  1. Please take some time to read what So Cal has posted in just the last 24 hours. This doesn’t include the numerous derogatory comments he made about another person, It’s disturbing how one unhappy person can be full of such anger and hatred over differences in political and social ideology.

    I truly express empathy for the people that have dealt with him on a daily basis. Perhaps he might listen to one of you and take down the temperature. …thanks

    fuck you and your family, especially the whore who raised you

    That’s OK about my family. The entire blog feels much worse for yours. Too bad COVID didn’t take more of them.

    The dumbass can’t read. He still claims I want Trump next year. Not the first time he’s shown everyone how dumb he is

    What’s really funny is in the same post, you tried to claim Biden is competent!! LMAO Talk about stupidity!

    Biden isn’t braindead. He’s stuck trying to satisfy warring factions within his own constituency. So far he’s resisted the neo-cons who want to start World War Three by giving F-22’s to Zelenskyy.
    Trump is not braindead. He kept us out of war for 4 years —and even called back some retaliatory missile attacks because they “weren’t proportionate.” He also helped people accept the fact we don’t have news stations anymore —only propaganda outlets.
    No one on this blog hates the Chinese people. Some are concerned that the CCP is buying up our universities & politicians [but that’s as much a sign of our corruption as it is theirs].
    Finally as someone who’s got into fights all the way up to [and even after] law school may I say I always respected the other guy by the time it was over. I just wish I’d gotten there before it started.

  7. I used to think that the idea that a top draft pick would return for their senior year was preposterous. Only a few have done it in the last 20 years and coaches over the last few years don’t even suggest it to the player. But with NIL money it now seems like a viable option. There was a rumor that Tuli was offered more than a million in NIL money to return for his senior season and wanted to come back put his family persuaded him to go into the draft. A question arises as to why going Pro is the better choice if colleges can match the money. Is Tuli going to receive more than a million a year in the NFL? He will likely get bigger and stronger with one more year in college which will help him compete when he faces a 28 year old lineman in the Pro game.
