NCAA Tournament bound?
Tim Floyd said he thought this victory gets USC into the NCAA Tournament.
``I think so, especially when you look at the Oregon and Arizona sweeps,'' Floyd said. ``And we have four road wins in the league. ... We won't approach it that way, though. We'll approach it that we've got to go out and get another one and then another one.''
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.
