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. But as Coach Bohn says, “it’s about the seed!”  Ken … Continue reading Can USC Win Pac-12 Tournament?

USC has added two years to Andy Enfield’s contract, it announced today. This is funny because USC previously said it would not announce how many years contracts were extended. Enfield got an extension until 2025-26 before the season and now will go until 2027-28.

The law of averages finally caught up with the rivalry as Mick Cronin won his first game vs. USC in six attempts. The key was USC’s 15 turnovers while UCLA had only 1. UCLA ended up shooting only 45 percent and 3 for 11 on 3-pointers. But USC didn’t get much from some of its main performers: Boogie Ellis made only 5 of 14 shots. … Continue reading USC-UCLA Live Blog

Today’s USC-UCLA game is a free hit for the Trojans. What I mean by that is all the pressure is on UCLA and Mick Cronin. UCLA needs to beat USC a lot more than USC needs to beat UCLA. Cronin has never beaten USC. He is 0-5. In fact, if you take away last season’s NCAA Tournament-run, has Cronin been that great at UCLA?
