USC spring practice is officially 33 percent concluded and what do we really know about the team? The media cannot watch anything past some individual drills and stretches, so much of what they report is how big a player looks or what the coaches say about them. I spoke to a staffer who has watched the scrimmage portions and they told me the offensive line … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Not really a surprise as UConn defeated USC, 78-64, behind 31 points by Paige Buckers. But USC got just 10 points from Kiki Iriafen, who missed 11 straight shots. No way the Trojans had a chance with Iriafen struggling. Rayah Marshall showed up with 23 points and 15 rebounds.

JuJu Watkins was named the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Assn. Player of the Year today. I don’t think I agree with ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo in the clip below that assumes Watkins will redshirt next season. I think it’s too soon to know.

You can watch the … Continue reading JuJu Watkins Suffers Season-Ending Injury

But this might have been the worst moment, when Watkins was in the game Saturday with a sore ankle despite USC winning by more than 40 points. USC superstar Juju Watkins went back in up 40 points after rolling her ankle. She … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Another Strange Game Decision
A crowd of 6,865 showed up at the Galen Center today to watch USC play North Carolina-Greensboro and Cal face Mississippi State. As I write this, the Big Ten is 19-1 in the NCAA Tournament, if you count the men’s and women’s teams. Here’s some photos from the day: USC started slowly, leading 12-8, after the first quarter but then outscored Greensboro, 59-17, the rest … Continue reading A Busy Saturday At The Galen Center
