Just as predicted, Mike Bohn was at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday night. He got to speak to Bill Walton, watch USC beat UCLA and congratulate Andy Enfield. And, more importantly, he did it without any hecklers. The only floor level seats for USC at Pauley are for boosters, family, friends of the program.

This confirms USC is one of the schools the NCAA is investigating following the FBI investigation into college basketball corruption. Bland was sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service in June. I’m also told USC is conducting another internal investigation of USC basketball.
