Turns out USC’s 78-64 loss to UConn in the Elite Eight was the Huskies’ only game decided by less than 23 points in the NCAA Tournament. How’s that for a silver lining? Ask Wesley Yates, A’Marion Peterson, Avery Howell and Kayleigh Heckel if LA is the place to be? “LA is a great city to play in obviously. They are the Mecca of the world … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: USC The Place To Be!
USC has added three basketball transfers today: Cal State Northrige forward Keonte Jones; Robert Morris forward Amarion Dickerson and Virginia forward Jacob Cofie. Jones and Dickerson averaged 13 points per game. Cofie averaged seven points. Sounds like they will nicely complement the existing players. But shouldn’t USC be trying to get a game-changing transfer? Especially after landing five-star guard Alijah Arenas?

She mentions that Paige Bueckers of UConn took a year off. But people respond differently and recovery times are not always the same. … Continue reading When Will JuJu Watkins Return?
JuJu Watkins tore her ACL in the first quarter of last night’s USC game at the Galen Center, a devastating blow for the Trojans, who advanced to the Sweet 16 with a victory over Mississippi State. USC will now play Kansas State on Saturday at 5 p.m. in Spokane without its star player and if the Trojans win, likely play UConn. You can watch the … Continue reading JuJu Watkins Suffers Season-Ending Injury
