USC Buzz: It’s Selection Sunday (For One Team)

It’s Selection Sunday, otherwise known as a day off for Eric Musselman and his players.

But the women’s basketball team will wait to see where they get sent. Guard Jazzy Davidson, who gothurt in the Big Ten Tournament, is OK and able to play. Will USC be able to win two games in the tournament? One game might be a tough ask depending on the draw.

  • USC won 19 straight games to start the season. The only other USC baseball team to win 19 straight games was in 1955, which went to the College World Series.

That team featured several All-Americans: outfielder Gerry Mason, catcher John Garten and pitcher Vic Lapiner.

Another player who spent a short period on that team before signing a pro contract was pitcher Barry Latman, who was a member of the Chicago White Sox team that won the 1959 World Series and a member of the American League All-Star team in 1961.

Fairfax High School had three players in the 1959 World Series: Larry Sherry and Chuck Essegian (Dodgers) and Latman (White Sox).
