USC men's basketball takes down Wichita State in Lake Tahoe

On Sunday night, the USC men's basketball team traveled up to Lake Tahoe for a nonconference matchup with Wichita State. After dominating Milwaukee at home to open the regular season last Monday, the Trojans were looking to improve to 2-0 on the year. While this game was much closer than the season opener, USC once again came out on top. The Trojans were able to battle their way to a 93-86 victory over a solid Wichita State team. Rodney Rice and Alijah Arenas both had career nights for USC. Rice recorded 32 points, nine assists, and five rebounds, while Arenas had 30 points and four rebounds. Up next, the Trojans will play the second game of their early-season road trip when they visit former Pac-12 foe Cal on Wednesday night. Tipoff is set for 8:00 p.m. Pacific time on ESPN2.

It is already clear: Alijah Arenas and Rodney Rice are special USC duo

USC has played only two games so far this basketball season, but it is hard to ignore how exciting this journey could become over the next several months. The star talent the Trojans have has rarely been higher, and Eric Musselman's team is very clearly fueled by the star guard play from Alijah Arenas and Rodney Rice. My overreaction take for the week is that the USC Trojans ' backcourt will be the best in the country this season. In the second game of the season, it was clear what both Rodney Rice and Alijah Arenas will provide for the Trojans. Alijah Arenas is an elite scorer at any level. His development and maturity have been evident. His 6-foot-7 height does not get in the way of how smoothly he plays. In Game 1 against Milwaukee, he scored an easy 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting. Game 1 was just a brief flash of what was to come. On Sunday in Game 2 against Wichita State Arenas put it all together and scored 30 points. He will be the Trojans' lead guy who wants the ball late in games. USC will be very comfortable with Arenas taking the big shots in

Big Ten Broadcast Catches JuJu Watkins in Disbelief After Making Career-High Mark Against Utah State

It took JuJu Watkins just two games to set a personal best and achieve a mark not seen in the NCAA in 25 years. Watkins dropped a double-double of 32 points and 16 rebounds to lead USC to a comprehensive 118-40 win. While Watkins breaks records regularly, she was a little surprised when told about a stat she registered. “Oh wow, I didn’t even know that,” Watkins said during the on-court interview after the game, when the reporter told her that her 16 rebounds were a career high. And this wasn’t the only remarkable feat Watkins achieved on the night. “In just her 2nd game back, JuJu Watkins bec...

Big Ten Week 10 created even more opportunities for USC to rise

The UCLA Bruins ran away with another victory, moving to 9-0, while the Ohio State Buckeyes are melting down. The USC Trojans and the Indiana Hoosiers know their game contains even more meaning now, following a week of more chaos in the Big Ten. Here are the scores from this weekend in Big Ten football, plus my breakdown for each team: Illinois 24-13 vs Nebraska (Friday) Katin Houser gave the Illinois Fighting Illini great quarterback play, and he saved his best performance of the season for this game. Illinois ' offense was efficient and mistake-free. The same could not be said for the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a whole; they had 11 penalties. Games like this are a stain on what Matt Rhule has built. Things have gone off the rails, but suffering a loss like this to end the season is telling. UCLA 34-20 vs Minnesota The Minnesota Gophers put up a fight for another week, but the UCLA Bruins are looking more and more like a new version of the Curt Cignetti Indiana Hoosiers. Bob Chesney has the Bruins at the top of the Big Ten in just 1 season. Hope is not lost for the Gophers, as they
