After retaining Alijah Arenas and landing 7 transfers, USC men's basketball coach Eric Musselman said this roster feels like his Arkansas teams, which made 3 trips to the NCAA Tournament's 2nd weekend.
Are the Trojans on the verge of a breakthrough?

Like the home baseball stadium taking shape around them, the USC Trojans have been building toward something under coach Andy Stankiewicz.
Will the big payoff come in 2027?

Every MLB is the same. When you watch college baseball you see bunting, hit and runs, hitting behind runners, and it feels like a different game.
Add in college crowds, the atmosphere, and the fact that every part of the country has a local team it’s a recipe for a sneaky good product.

It’s better than MLB. For whatever reason, it’s more engaging.

One of the most brutal endings I've ever seen.
North Carolina is Kryptonite for USC in multiple sports, having rallied from a 16-point, second-half deficit in the 2007 NCAA men's basketball Sweet 16 after Taj Gibson picked up his fourth foul.

Can't let UCLA off the hook either, when it comes to those dreaded Tar Heels.
2022 Sweet 16, 2024 MSG implosion, etc. -- UCLA men's basketball has not beaten the Tar Heels since Jan. 15, 2000 -- seven losses in a row. Dreadful!
