Fox Sports 1 pulled a debacle tonight. It did not broadcast the USC-UCLA game until 10.9 seconds were left in the first half. That’s because the Panama-Puerto Rico baseball game ran long (and it was a great game!). Fox said you could watch the USC-UCLA game on its app but several USC fans told me they couldn’t even get the game on the app. Why … Continue reading Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast
UCLA coach Mick Cronin, the angry gnome, has made two videos this week for students about attending tonight’s game at the Galen Center. Eric Musselman? Crickets. It’s a shame that Musselman, who works harder than any coach trying to drum up interest in the program, has gone MIA this week. It gives the impression, rightly or wrongly, that he has given up.

Let’s say the team took a week off (at a mimimum). Spring practice started March 3. He really had less than eight weeks for winter workouts. UCLA starts spring practice April 2. That provides … Continue reading USC Notes: Early Spring Means Short Winter
Chad Baker-Mazara is no longer a member of the USC basketball team, the school announced this afternoon. Baker-Mazara said he was hurt and could no longer play during yesterday’s loss to Nebraska and then sat next to the bench in seats with fans. This ending doesn’t surprise insiders in the college basketball world. I mentioned last June when Baker-Mazara transferred to USC that this would … Continue reading Chad Baker-Mazara No Longer On USC Basketball Team
Did you see SMU lost by 20 at Stanford last night? Thanks, Enfield! SMU had a 16-3 record and looked like a lock for the NCAA Tournament but has lost 7 of its past 10 games. Maybe USC and SMU can play each other in the NIT. Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Thanks, Enfield!
