  1. That’s right – a start that looked awful and then ‘show time’ for the USC Trojans! 8th Straight!

    • I only caught the last 3 long minutes of the game. How did we look? Is Boatwrights back gonna be a problem?

        • Yeah. Ive only been to a few sellouts. Usc/Ucla SC won that one. And USC/Oklahoma SC beat Blake Griffin. And OU game was still 400-500 short. Today was a wooden game. Im not sure. SC lost a lot of people when the Floyd/Mayo happened. The games actually felt like it was home crowd and it some time get there. Then the Kevin O’Neil years and style of basketball turned every one off. We were one of the defensive teams and we lost by 4-5 points every game but only scored about 45-55 games. That was sad. We’re on the right path now so we just have to except it. Also SC basketball games aren’t as cheap as one might think. We haven’t earned the right to overcharge in basketball.

      • Rough 8 minutes and then a remarkable 14=-2 run and just kept building – considering Boatwright is out for 5+ week a great victory!

  2. Yeah when it comes to December for bel-air tech it’s always ‘basketball time’….let’s take them down in January

  3. The 70 – 71 bozo’s were hot, but sat at tournament time.

    The 2000 – 01 bozo’s were hot but lost to Duke in the elite 8 round.

    The 2016 – 17 bozo’s?

    • We lost that game because Brandon Granville couldn’t guard Jayson Williams. We had Battier, Boozer, Dunleavy in check. We surprised Duke head to head all the way around but JW was too fast, too tall and tougher than Granville. They had Duhon as his backup also that season if I remember correctly. We gave our best. That was seriously talented Duke team. We were really good also. Probably the best team I’ve seen. They laid an egg the next season against NC Wilmington. Choked.

    • Just loses-Isn’t there a Jill Stein Pennsylvania recount rally you should be attending?

  4. a well coached win…made changes that worked and while missing a key starter…looking good
