USC Notes: Eric Musselman To Interview

If you wonder why I mention the travesty of USC putting “Southern Cal” on its basketball jerseys, it’s because this is the directive that the athletic dept. printed for decades.

Trent Perry, USC’s top basketball recruit, has asked for a release of his national letter of intent but will continue to consider the Trojans as an option. “I am going to take this time to decide which school makes the most sense for me next year while maintaining USC as an option,” Perry said.

USC Sunday Buzz: A Weekend Of Mishaps

Did you hear about yesterday’s UCLA-Arizona baseball game on the Pac-12 Network? In the 10th inning, the broadcast lost its announcer. Apparently, he had a flight to catch and there was only crowd noise for the rest of the game. Only in the Pac-12. The three-point lines are different on each side of the court in Portland for the Elite Eight. The NCAA measured pregame … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: A Weekend Of Mishaps
