The demise of USC basketball continued Saturday afternoon at the Galen Center.
The Trojans led at halftime by five points but completely collapsed in the second half of their 82-67 loss to Nebraska.
USC made 4 of 21 shots from 3-point range. It got rebounded, 41-25.
“We did not rebound the ball,” Eric Musselman said. “Rebounding the ball is something that I thought at least playing Nebraska that we could do a goob job on.”
Can it afford any more losses in the regular season for its sinking NCAA Tournament hopes? At the very least, it would need a deep Big Ten Tournament run.
What about Musselman? He built this roster and it’s a team with little chemistry. And it seems worse now than early in the season.
The bottom line: The season has quickly gone pear-shaped.

Dear Eric,
I guess you’ve heard the phrase “losing the team” —well, this is what it looks like in real time….

KAM: Watching the game, in the second half it appeared that NEB played with more pep and joy. It was like watching a good high school team that passed the ball and drove and made layups and put SC on it’s heels. No wonder they didn’t rebound.
DON: SC looked like it had more talented players but they were going through the motions.

“The season has gone pear-shaped.”
I know if can’t be good but I have never heard a season described in that way. It sounds like Scott is describing certain parts of a woman’s anatomy.
