USC upset No. 5-ranked Arizona at the Galen Center on Saturday night, which means the Trojans will probably play the Wildcats again next Thursday. But first, USC will play Washington on Wednesday at 12 p.m. in the Pac-12 Tournament. The winner plays Arizona at 12 p.m. on Thursday. That’s not a great draw when Arizona could have two straight games against USC. I’m sure Caleb … Continue reading USC Beats Arizona So It Can Play Them Next Week
JuJu Watkins has made 16 of 62 shots the past two Sunday games at noon, which came after USC played a Friday night game. The quick turnaround might be a factor in her poor shooting (26 percent). But here’s a question: Is that going to alleviated by a USC move to the Big Ten?

It seems to me Enfield’s made a decision on James because he’s kept … Continue reading USC Weekend Notes: Has Andy Enfield Made Decision On Bronny James?
The best part of USC’s 62-56 victory over UCLA on Saturday night is it prevents the media from continuing to carry water for Mick Cronin. UCLA is 14-13 overall and will need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament. But up until UCLA lost its past two games, you still had pundits praising Cronin despite the fact UCLA’s been playing well below … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: The Best Part Of Victory Over UCLA
Who played worse defense? The NBA All-Stars or USC? Was Alex Grinch in Indianapolis? Speaking of USC’s defense, here’s a classic clip from Chris “Mad Dog” Russo that includes his consistent botching of Caleb Williams’ name. Kuh-leeb Williams. “It’s up to him.

He’s still in season now, has the … Continue reading Morning Buzz: What Does USC Have In Common With NBA All-Star Game?
