If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
There was genuine surprise at the reunion of the 2001 Elite Eight USC basketball team last weekend because no one expected Coach Henry Bibby to attend. “Everybody was surprised he showed up,” a player in attendance said.

Don’t Believe Spring Scrimmage Spin
So one of the excuses Lincoln Riley has given about canceling the spring game is it causes him to eliminate a regular practice for the game and another practice to prepare for the scrimmage.

UCLA is a 6.5-7.5-point favorite tonight against USC at Pauley Pavilion. The rematch is March 7 at the Galen Center.
