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.

Don Haskins

Floyd said he talked to Don Haskins, the former Texas-El Paso (formerly Texas Western) coach immortalized in the movie ``Glory Road'' for starting an all-black team and winning the 1966 NCAA Championship over an all-white Kentucky team, this morning and invited Haskins to come to USC's first-round game. Floyd started his coaching career as an assistent under Haskins at UTEP.

Floyd said he wasn't sure if Haskins would be able to make it because of health issues. He's had multiple heart surgeries and needed to have part of his foot amputated due to complications from diabetes, according to Floyd.

``He's been through a lot,'' Floyd said. ``But we still talk four to five times a week, so I'd love for him to be there.''
