You would think but so far no. If we lose they will probably go like 2-20 in the next game.

USC has now hit 8 shots in a row and is over 70% for the half. 60% for the game, 56% from 3. WHAT THE ****

59.5% field goal shooting.
56.3% 3 pt shooting.

Either very soft defense or out of this world, hot as a pistol and it makes no difference what you do against them.

SC can really shoot and with Motley on the bench we lost our.mismatch. Lindsey is really effective driving though on their guards

Every team turns into a bunch of Ray Allen's against us. I've never seen anything like it.

SC just not missing. We are playing pretty well and they score anyway. Not sure what we can do. Just keep doing our thing and hope they regress to their norm

They have to cool off eventually. Just weather the storm and win this

Jake 1st good, 2nd good. 63-61 USC 7:05

Jake called for a grab away from the ball, our 8th

Doesnt matter if you are running to him from 10 feet away. He is fortunate it was a fade away as he likely would have fouled him dude.

Maston gets the soft roll from 10! 63-63 6:30

USC has hit like 24-47 last 2 games too

Metu with the dunk, ugh. 65-63 USC
GoldMind

That was an NBA play. Between the legs for the the dunk.
Hambone

Maston no good from about 17, but rebound bounces to him

Manu slashes to rim but he misses the circus layup, USC loses shoe and travels on the rebound tho
Media Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Manu can't get open. Being defended too well.
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ish with a great pass to Maston and it's a goaltend! he has 16 now. 65-65
Media Bear

GT. And I don't mean Grant Teaff ...
