Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time
at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight
run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the
school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era.
After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full
time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the
rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim
Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean,
he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School
in Woodland Hills.

I was on the same flight as the team on the way back to L.A. Group A, including most of the team, had already boarded the Southwest flight when I got to the gate. Stuck in Group B with me were a couple walk-ons and freshman Kyle Austin. Hmmm, didn't seem too random.
At the end of the flight while we were waiting for them to open the doors, someone pushed one of those pens that plays the USC fight song. I never saw where it came from but the players got a kick out of it.
