USC Morning Buzz: Beware Spring Hype
When spring practices start Tuesday, here’s a caveat for those who like to follow the breathless reports/hype. Just remember the media are only allowed to watch stretching and individual drills. That means not seeing anyone — perhaps most importantly the inexperienced offensive linemen — in actual 11-on-11 competition.

USC Gets Reasonable Draw In Women’s Bracket
USC earned a No. 1 seed in the “Portland 3” regional of the NCAA Women’s Tournament and the Trojans are on a collision course with either No. 2-seeded Ohio State or No. 3 UConn.

USC Saturday Buzz: Some Home Truths On Andy Enfield
It remains galling that Andy Enfield said he was “not disappointed” USC went 15-18 and finished ninth in the Pac-12. One of his big talking points was that USC went 95-35 in the four seasons before this one. But this also illustrates one of my beefs with Enfield: How many NCAA Tournament games did USC win in that span? Three.
