So yesterday I took Eric Musselman and USC to task about producing a non-conference schedule worthy of a team ranked in the preseason top 15. So I got this response from Dan Shell, who helps put on the Arcisure Classic Invitational in Coachella Valley that USC will play in this season. My response to Shell was that USC hasn’t wanted to tango since Andy Enfield … Continue reading An Update To My USC Basketball Suggestion

Since everyone is hyping USC men’s basketball for next season, here’s a radical thought: How about Eric Musselman create a non-conference schedule worthy of a top 15 program? So far, USC is scheduled to play two teams in Coachella Valley in Novemeber. The potential opponments are Arizona State, LSU, SMU, South Carolina and Utah State.

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
I heard yesterday that USC still did not know if Alijah Arenas was returning next season. The deadline to declare for the NBA Draft is Friday night. Most people I talk to at USC would be surprised if Arenas came back. It would be interesting to see if Colgate point guard Jalen Cox, who committed Thursday, would follow through and come to USC if Arenas … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Will He Stay Or Will He Go (They Usually Go)?
