Trojans prepare for final two regular season games
USC will try to capture its second Pac-12 win in what has become a disappointing year.
Taking a closer look at both basketball teams
The last few weeks brought a merciful end to a tumultuous period for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. After the dismissal of former men’s head coach Kevin O’Neill and the resignation of women’s coach Michael Cooper, Athletic Director Pat Haden was hard at work, bringing in Florida Gulf Coast University’s Andy Enfield to […]
Enfield was solid hire, but Hopkins is better
Like plenty of other college basketball fans who picked Georgetown to advance deep into the NCAA tournament, I quickly familiarized myself with Florida Gulf Coast University and its head coach, Andy Enfield. The FGCU Eagles disposed of the second-seeded Hoyas in surprisingly dominant fashion, then took down San Diego State (a team that beat USC […]

Seventh-seed USC will take on the 10th-seed Utah Utes in the opening round of play.
