USC Will Not Play In NIT After Loss To Washington

Eric Musselman said he did not expect USC to play in the NIT. “I would assume we’re not going to play,” Musselman said. Musselman also said he can’t wait to get started on next year. That’s another way of saying you’ve had enough of the current team. Well, that’s on Musselman. He recruited them. He paid them. He coached them.
