Can Usc Make The Sweet 16

... the second week of the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8. So I think they can get by Baylor. The biggest thing will be Metu versus their front court, how a guy like Chimezie Metu does with Baylor’s front court like TJ Maston and Johnathan Motley. That’s the crucial thing but I think they can get by Baylor.”. Trojan __link__: This is a three seed against an eleven seed. That’s usually considered a mismatch. It doesn’t sound like you feel this is a mismatch. Is this game a toss up. Corey Evans: “I would definitely say Baylor is a slight favorite. For it being an eleven versus three, I think it’s a lot closer than originally perceived. So I definitely think it’s a 45-55 game in Baylor’s favor. I would maybe give two points to USC, but outside of that it should be a really good game.”. Trojan __link__: How far can USC actually go in the tournament. Corey Evans: “The next thing will be Duke. I think as far as they can get maybe is the Sweet 16. If Duke gets that far, I think Duke might be a little ...

Usc Isn't Happy With Its No. 1 Ranking In An Unusual Category. Where's The Luck

... Tucson. On the air: TV: Pac-12 Networks; Radio: 710. Update: USC (21-6, 8-6 in the Pac-12 Conference) watched film of its 102-70 loss to UCLA for two hours earlier this week, about twice as long as normal. There is no reprieve: Arizona (25-3, 14-1) sits atop the conference.

Usc Guard Elijah Stewart's Game-winning Shot Reignites College Basketball's Oddest Feud

... Press). Zach Helfand Contact Reporter. Elijah Stewart has long three-point range and, apparently, a longer memory. In an exuberant postgame locker room following USC’s dramatic 66-65 win over Southern Methodist on Friday, Stewart talked about his late three-pointer that won the game. Then he returned to a long-running feud. He turned to a reporter and said, “Hey, tag the Post Man.”. “Your guy who worked for the quote-unquote government.”. Ken Pom. “Ken Pom.”. Some back story: “Ken Pom” is Ken Pomeroy, the influential basketball statistician whose publicly available metrics last month listed USC as the luckiest team in college basketball. Stewart took offense, and his umbrage was noted in a Times article. “Unless Jesus runs that site, it’s not very credible to me,” Stewart said at the time. “If you’re so good at telling the ...

South Carolina ‘a Basketball School Right Now

... one of the most physical they’ve had. That surprised Sun Devils coach Charli Turner Thorne. Because her team got the worst of that encounter. “I think it was end of the first quarter, Wilson got Quinn (Dornstauder) with an elbow,” Turner Thorne said. “She cut her chin open, no foul, so she had to go out, and she was probably out till halftime, and she had, I think, about 10 stitches.”. That was before forward Kelsey Moos caught a knee to the head chasing a loose ball, missing 2-3 weeks, and forward Sophie Brunner dislocated an ankle late, missing 5-6 weeks. That game ended when Wilson was fouled by ASU’s 5-foot-7 point guard with less than a second left and nailed both free-throws for a 60-58 win. Meet so soon. This was a postseason matchup that could have been in play either of the past two seasons. The Sun Devils were a No. 3 seed in USC’s region in 2015, but lost by a point with a chance to meet the Gamecocks. Last year, they were the top two seeds in the Sioux Falls Regional, in line to meet in the Elite Eight before both teams were upset ...

Notice Continues To Dominate On Defense

... position by taking too many 3-pointers that were turning into those Marquette shots. Then their switches on defense were getting lost, leaving wide-open looks for the Eagles to drain 3 s. Notice stopped it. Following a timeout, the Gamecocks tightened their on-the-ball defense, Notice running point on it. Now every ball-handler suddenly had a hand, shoulder or Notice’s beard in his face when he was looking to get rid of the ball. USC climbed back into the game and then floored it in the second half. “Everybody talks about our defense, and talk about me stunting the ball and stuff like that, but Duane doesn’t get enough credit for what he does,” Thornwell said. “How he heats point guards up, how he routed them.”. Thornwell said Notice should have made the All-SEC Defensive team – he wasn’t alone there – but shot-blocking, steals and rebounding leaders usually get that. No matter – Notice was playing Friday night and winning, and when the Gamecocks look back on The Win ...

Ucla And Usc Are Bringing 'showtime' Back To La College Basketball

... The Bruins are playing a fun, entertaining brand of basketball, and they might be playing it better than any other team in the country at the moment. Indeed, life is good right now for Alford and UCLA. In a year when the Lakers are near the bottom of the NBA standings and the Clippers are, well, the Clippers, the Bruins are the best show in town. That doesn’t mean they are the only show in town, however. And while they are helping to make the city of Los Angeles into a college basketball town again, that’s an undertaking that can’t be done alone. * * *. If February was a dream for the Bruins, it was a nightmare for the USC Trojans. USC finished February with four straight losses and did not post a victory against a team ranked higher than No. 10 in the Pac-12 standings. The last of those losses was the one that hurt the most, a game in which Andy Enfield’s team led the Sun Devils by 10 points with less than three ...

... conferences, but it has proven it can hang with some elite competition this season. After a shaky 4-3 start to the season with losses to Michigan, USC and Boise State, it has gone 24-1 since - including wins over eight top-100 teams. Semi Ojeleye, a Duke transfer, is a force to be reckoned with down low. USC: The Trojans have beaten UCLA and SMU, but hardly anybody else of note - only two of their 24 victories are against top-50 RPI teams. It’s worth noting USC’s leading scorer (Bennie Boatwright) missed 17 games this season with a knee injury. The sophomore forward is healthy now, though. He’s scored in double figures in 10 of USC’s past 11 games.
