``I'm just real weak right now, like my body's just aching -- my stomach and lower back,'' Pruitt said after practice. ``... I should be (healthy) enough to play and contribute. We'll see what happens tomorrow.''
Pruitt said he spent four hours at the doctor yesterday and went through two bags of fluids.The doctor told him it was a virus of some sort.
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.
