USC Morning Buzz: Football And Basketball Have One Thing In Common

USC will play North Carolina in an exhibition basketball game at Greensboro, N.C., on Oct. 9th. An exhibitiion? USC couldn’t play the Tar Heels in a real game? This pretty much proves again what I’ve been saying about Eric Musselman not really beefing up the schedule despite having a team that will probably be ranked in the Top 15. Has Lincoln Riley advised him on … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Football And Basketball Have One Thing In Common

An Update To My USC Basketball Suggestion

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.

Alijah Arenas Changes Mind, Will Return To USC

The whole Alijah Arenas situation has become so sloppy. He hasn’t made any public announcements, entered his name in the NBA Draft and now has suddenly withdrawn it. Arenas returning to USC will be cheered in many quarters. But I will stand by what I said earlier today. 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

Alijah Arenas Declares For NBA Draft

The NBA released its list of its of underclassmen who have declared for the NBA Draft and Alijah Arenas was on the list. 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
