An Accurate Galen Center Attendance
This is an interesting development: USC’s official attendance for Saturday’s basketball game was 7,622. This seems . . . accurate.

Did you see the possession where the Trojans didn’t know what to do and it forced Onyeka Okongwu to simply drive … Continue reading Quite A Day At Galen Center As USC Wins In Last Seconds
