Is USC In The Tournament?

USC is 24-9 after its loss to UCLA last night. More important, the Trojans are No. 61 in the KenPom.com rankings. That is not great and one spot behind Vermont.

But remember Oregon State was No. 60 last year and got in the tournament. Colorado was No. 60 in 2014 and got in. So it would not be unusual.

  1. Bubble team. Might get saddled with a play-in game. But if I were a betting man I’d say they are in, based on the conference record

  2. There you go Wolf, cherry picking the worst piece of data out there.You would be better suited at CNN or MSNBC

  3. Based upon votes in the AP poll Trojans are in the top 33 – 36 which should give them a 9th seed in one of the regional. Not sure if works that way with the selection committee though. Good to see those clowns from Westwood get beat fairly easy by Arizona in the semi-finals.

  4. Doesn’t matter how we got in. Through the front door or by jumping through a window with now house key. We’re in and we still have life. If McLaughlin doesn’t play a poor 1st half by missing all four shots inside the paint, and Stewart doesn’t have one of his worst games defensively (IMO) we might have knocked them off. But at least we’re not done til November!!!!

    • Agree!
      Don’t forget!
      Have to make every single free throw!
      Every point counts!

      • Yep, JMac and Boatwright didn’t make them when they were needed. Also knock on wood but hopefully we aren’t in a crucial inbounds play late in the game haha!

          • This is where McLaughlin has play like a veteran PG. No turnovers. No missed layups, and get everyone involved. If he struggles it’s a wrap, but he doesn’t have be spectacular just be smart and that should elevate the play of the four guys on tge the court with him and keep playing.

  5. J Metaphor is in his own fairy tale world right now. I think Arizona might have punched his bottom lip last night and probably looks like Bubba Gump. He said UCLA let up on SC. Yeah!!!! Sure they did.

    • It’s hard to get up for a team when you just pummeled them by 32.
      Have a nice off season.
