USC Morning Buzz: Several Defensive Questions Heading Into Season

Here are some questions I have about USC’s defense going into the season: On coming back next season: “It’s a statement for me and a statement for USC,” Arenas said.

He took 13 shots a game last season (too many); shot 34 percent from the field and … Continue reading Alijah Arenas Changes Mind, Will Return To USC

Not exactly a surprise but I find it kind of classless to enter the draft without even a statement for the USC fans or a word of appreciation for the basketball program that supported you. Does this affect USC’s Top 25 ranking … Continue reading Alijah Arenas Declares For NBA Draft
