USC forward Bennie Boatwright scored a career-high 36 points in the Trojans’ 89-66 victory over Cal. Boatwright tied a Pac-12 record with 10 3-pointers, which set a USC record. The previous record of nine was held by Anthony Pendleton and Katin Reinhardt. Too bad Boatwright didn’t make one of those Thursday or USC would have beaten Stanford. But that was against Stanford. Not lowly Cal, … Continue reading Bennie Boatwright Sets USC Record With 10 3-Pointers

As much as I would love to ignore USC basketball, it is hard to avoid when the Trojans blow a 14-point lead to Stanford, who didn’t even have point guard Daejon Davis. Not to mention the inevitable collapse at the end as USC led by 4 going into the final minute. Has Andy Enfield ever overachieved? He has more talent than Stanford. But USC is 13-12. … Continue reading USC Basketball Is Mess, Of Course

Do you remember when Pat Haden hired Andy Enfield as USC basketball coach, the other finalist was Mike Hopkins? Hopkins eventually went to Washington. In his first season, the Huskies upset No. 2-ranked Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. What is Enfield’s signature win? Has he even played a top 5 team on the road?

If you are one of the few to attend USC basketball games, you might notice the Song Girls are no longer at the games. I’ve heard chatter among alumni that athletic director Lynn Swann banned the song girls from basketball games after being told some joined “Fire Helton” chants at the Notre Dame game. The Los Angeles Times looked into the matter but did not mention … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Worst A.D. In Nation Chronicles

Oregon defeated USC, 81-60. Kevin Porter Jr. was suspended for unspecified conduct issues and did not play. USC’s 60 points were a season low. Jonah Mathews had 15 points while Bennie Boatwright had 13 points and 8 rebounds. The Trojans are 9-8 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12. UPDATED: Enfield said Porter’s suspension is indefinite.
