A Peacock Alert For USC Fans

It’s a big week at the Galen Center with No. 7-ranked USC playing No. 1 UCLA in women’s basketball on Thursday night. It’s a sellout. Now the kicker: The game will be on Peacock. Unbelievable.

I didn’t really notice Johnson, … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Amateurish Display At Galen Center

USC Basketball Great Gus Williams Dies

Gus Williams, one of the greatest players in USC basketball history, died Wednesday. He was 71. Williams is probably my favorite player in USC basketball history, an electric scorer and passer who had athleticism that stood out among the Trojan teams he played on in the 1970’s. He came to USC from Mt. Vernon High School, where he averaged 24.2 points, 8 steals and shot … Continue reading USC Basketball Great Gus Williams Dies
