Is USC’s basketball season over? Or can the Trojans get into one of the many postseason tournaments available to non-NCAA Tournament teams?

“The NIT has shown interest in us,” interim coach Bob Cantu said. “I don’t know if we’ll be able to make the NIT or not. But if we did, we’d definitely want to participate in it. So we’ll have to wait and see. We played a very difficult schedule.”

And what about the absence of Dewayne Dedmon and James Blasczyk?

“At the end of the day, we’re a team,” guard Byron Wesley said. “If one person messes up, we all basically mess up. So we’re never going to point fingers. We’re not going to blame it on one player not being here, from one player not playing well.”
