Finally, the the NCAA Tournament is here for USC. It’s time for you to pick a score. Like I said yesterday, I think USC can beat or lose to anyone. USC is a 6.5-point favorite over Drake. The over/under is 136.5 points per William Hill. What happens if the game comes down to free throws? Continue reading Morning Buzz: Pick The USC-Drake Score
Did you follow the story on twitter this week where UCLA athletic director Martin Jarmond gave two tickets to a Bruin fan in Indiana? It struck me as exactly the kind of viral, organic interaction that Mike Bohn (and Brandon Sosna) wish they could do but it always comes across as forced or pre-calculated when executed from Heritage Hall.

In USC’s favor, Kansas is only 14-12-1 vs. the spread and ESPN guru Joe Lunardi likes the Trojans to make the Elite Eight and beating Oregon again. Did you see former USC WR Josh Imatorbhebhe had a vertical leap of 46.5 inches. It’s believed to … Continue reading USC Notes: Good And Bad NCAA Tournament Takes
If you get a chance, I recommend watching the 2001 Sweet 16 USC-Kentucky game with former players Sam Clancy, David Blu (Bluthenthal), Brandon Granville and Jeff Trepagnier (below).

In the first few minutes, Granville says, “(we) ended up staying in the Ritz-Carlton after that whole fiasco with Coach Bibby.” So here’s what … Continue reading Did You Watch The USC-Kentucky Rewind?
