USC Falls To Utah
USC just lost to Utah, 79-65, and got swept on this road trip. The excuses were plentiful: Nick Rakocevic had the flu. Isaiah Mobley had a sprained ankle. But the Trojans still had enough talent to beat Utah. I said this morning Joe Lunardi would still have USC in his final four to make the NCAA Tournament even if the Trojans lost to the Utes. … Continue reading USC Falls To Utah
Too Many Believe Power is Always Right At USC
It was a great move by Mike Bohn to bite the bullet and cancel the UC Davis game. What’s funny is the people who work in the athletic dept. and back last summer defended the move by saying UC Davis is better than teams USC would have played, like San Jose State.

Afternoon Notes: Pressure Increases On USC Basketball

I’m sure Mike Bohn is not surprised about Mick Cronin being a good coach since they worked together at Cincinnati. And I’m sure Bohn was unhappy to lose him. USC now probably needs to beat Arizona on Thursday or beat Utah, Arizona State and UCLA to … Continue reading Afternoon Notes: Pressure Increases On USC Basketball
