MATTHEW KREDELL

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.

Passing a priority

After having 19 shots blocked by Stanford on Thursday, USC emphasized passing to the open man off of drives to the basket rather than forcing up shots during practice Friday.

``I don't think our kids did not play hard,'' Tim Floyd said. ``We competed. I just thought we could play smarter.''

I thought the effort was apparent, however it goes a little bit beyond that when the opponent you are playing is too big or in this case too tall to shoot over. We need to make that extra pass..
