Wow they are bad. Up 16 with 8 minutes left and give up the lead to lose in double OT. The last 10 mins of the second half and two OTs I watched were absolutely miserable, guys giving zero effort. Talk about not running an offense, everyone literally just standing around doing nothing. Also their crowd, HA. It's a close game and the place is dead silent while the Trojans are on defense, awful atmosphere. Should be easy W's for years to come.
OT: USC Basketball

Will be I teresting to see how they handle the stress of cross country flights for Wed/Sat game schedule.
With all the money USC has, they need to build themselves a new arena along the lines of what Baylor built. Their current venue looks like a convention center.
I imagine it will mostly be Thursday-Saturday games. Or Friday-Sunday.
It will be interesting
How does Collier look? I haven't seen him play in college yet, projected top 3 pick...had some nice matchups with jmike in highschool in which jmike held his own..
Discipline and culture matter in college hoops. It’s why next year will be so interesting on the banks. Do the super frosh buy into the Pike system?
Gone to the 4th division New Zealand league. He’s trash. He makes Thanassis look like Giannis.
Well I now don’t have to ask how Bronny is doing! Is he good enuf to play with hid dad on LA next year?
Oh god no. He is shooting 27% from 3, 60% from the line. Averages 20 minutes on a 10-16 team. Grand total of 4 blocks in 18 games (only 6’4). 14 minutes and 2 points in their OT loss yesterday. He will not sniff the league.
USCs arena is beautiful and fairly new. Way better then Pauley IMHO however I realize my opinion is not popular when it comes to this
Heres the thing about USC basketball--NOBODY CARES. its like State Penn. Basketball is not just 2nd to football it like it's completely irrelevant. Even when they're good.
Sadly for him, he's probably going to get drafted just because a team wants to entice Lebron (so they can play together).
Seems he should definitely spend more time in college and/or G-League.l to develop.
I just drove past their campus in January and I must’ve been looking at the wrong building. It almost looked like the old Brendan Byrne (sp?) Arena from the outside.
Galen Center , opened 2006. has large windows looking out at the LA skyline too from the seats
Do you think he’d say he is ***? He isn’t getting drafted. He isn’t big, can’t shoot, isn’t a defensive stopper. Find me one mock that has him going:

He’s not good enough to be drafted so why would he be in a mock? My point is that LeBron alone has the power to make it happen. And if he decides to leave the Lakers, there is a strong possibility that he’ll want Bronny in the new location. (You think the Bucks want Giannis’ brother on the roster?)
There have been a few articles from reputable NBA reporters within the last week on this exact issue.
Thanassis was drafted by the Knicks 5 years before going to the Bucks, and only 2 years into Giannis career. Not the same thing at all.
And you don’t have info those that make mocks do - if LeBron had that pull, they would reflect it. He is supporting his son - as well he should. Bronny ain’t playing in the NBA.
When USC basketball was good, it got a lot of attention. I remember some real tough games between UCLA and USC when they were in their glory days. At one time they were ranked 1-2 and there was a year in the days when only conference champions went to the NCAA tournament when UCLA won the NCAA and USC won the NIT.
Sad but true. Five gold stars to you, I’m sure being right was the highlight of your week.
I was wrong. I made the mistake of actually watching him play and evaluating his talent unlike you. You asked a question, sorry I got it wrong - wasn’t a grand prediction. Hope you’re keeping score.
And people wonder why the Lakers haven't done squat in his era other than win a Mickey Mouse NBA Title in the dead middle of Covid that next to no one cares about or acknowledges.
I would “assume” with lebrons influence, Bronny will make the team and spend the entire year paying with dad, while some deserving player wallows in the G league.
