Great trip to Greenville! The fan boys wanted to crow about the school-record 26 victories. A false accomplishment with an easy schedule. More important: A 1-4 record to end the season when real teams and real things were at stake. A first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament? C’mon. Miami had what? Five players. USC lost this game with a sluggish first half. But it’s looked … Continue reading Discuss The USC-Miami Game
Drew Peterson did everything he could to will USC to a victory but the Trojans fall short, 68-66. Poor foul by Ethan Anderson with three seconds left with the push Charlie Moore and give two free throws with 3 seconds left. How crucial was that out-of-bounds call?

Now I’m always skeptical of praise for USC strength coaches because it tends to rely on athletic dept. spin. But so far the comments from players are more positive compared to the past few years when new strength coaches took over and were lavishly praised by adminstrators and social … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Will USC Be Stronger This Year?
