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.

« Oregon State tip | Main | USC wins 73-56 »

Halftime report

This must have been what Tim Floyd feared when he said USC wasn't as good as it looked in a 45-point victory at Oregon State last month. The Trojans are shooting 33.3 percent from the field (barely half of the 65-percent they shot in Corvallis) but lead 29-23 at halftime. Nick Young is carrying the offense with 14 points. He's been aggressive driving to the basket and getting to the line, converting 8 of 9 free throws.

Even good times go with droughts. Defense wins games and this team has at least that capability.
