That's it, huh? You sound excited. You must be trying to figure out another way to say "Remember, I supported Kevin O'Neill before anyone else did."
Loser. Merry Xmas!
Yep. If Coach O'Neill TWITTERED... this team would suck.
I don't think anyone expected USC to play so well. Credit to coach and guys who stayed. Recruits made a mistake in splitting.
Great win. Depth could be a problem, but, this team can compete in the Pac-10 this year.
Just loved how Gerrity would break down the press time after time, and I am still amazed at what a difference a good ball-handling guard can make for a team. And the bigs go after the rebounds with great energy. But it is defense that will win games for this group this year, they all really go after it.
But as said above, SC has to give the starting-5 a breather once in a while, but there is a big drop-off when any one of these men comes out of the game.
I been saying I thought USC would do well if not at the level of recent years. But I started to think I was being optimistic until I saw them with all the pieces together.
Post moves and guard play with bball IQ are missing in college nowadays. A good post player in college is like Bigfoot. But you still can go far if you find a good guard with with a high bball IQ.
With so many kids leaving early size means a lot as well. Washington is another big body. If our big guys sunk freethrows USC would be a really strong contender for March.
