USC is projected as a No. 5 seed by Jerry Palm and a No. 7 seed by Joe Lunardi. Does that matter? Palm has the Trojans playing Virginia Tech in the first round while Lunardi has the Trojans playing Loyola-Chicago. Virginia Tech is No. 23 in the KenPom rankings while Loyola-Chicago is No. 24. USC? No. 43. Palm has USC playing Arkansas (25-8) in the … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: It’s Selection Sunday!

USC lost to UCLA on Friday night. Big surprise. Look at the March results: Loss to Arizona, loss to UCLA, barely beat Washington, loss to UCLA. Before that, USC barely beat Washington State, Oregon State and Oregon. Does this feel like the best USC team in history based on the number of regular-season victories? The schedule was too easy.

USC staging a … Continue reading USC Barely Survives Vs. Washington

I hear the Pac-12 Tournament started yesterday. I wouldn’t know because I don’t get the Pac-12 Network. USC plays pesky Washington, which has won 4 of its past 5 games, around 8:30 p.m. tonight. I’ve happily noted this will be on FS1. Not the Pac-12 Network. USC is already in the NCAA Tournament, of course.
