#4 Wazzu visits USC tonight
After a promising non-conference start featuring two close losses to Top 5 teams, followed by a disappointing 0-2 road trip to open the Pac-10 season, USC (9-5) hosts #4-ranked Washington State (13-0) tonight at 11:00 PM EST at the Galen Center. Wazzu is one of Division I's five remaining unbeatens, along with #1 North Carolina, #2 Memphis, #3 Kansas and #13 Vanderbilt. (USC's aforementioned "close losses" were against Memphis and Kansas.)
An undefeated team went down yesterday on the road when Tennessee beat Ole Miss in both teams' SEC openers. Can USC channel the Vols and knock off the Cougars tonight? It would certainly be nice to avoid an 0-3 start in the brutal Pac-10. Fight on!
UPDATE: Wazzu won easily, 73-58. Up next for the Cougars, a huge showdown at Pauley Pavilion against #5 UCLA. USC, meanwhile, hosts Washington on Saturday, in what is pretty close to being a "must-win" game, despite how early in the season it is. You don't want to fall to 0-4 in conference -- with losses to two of the weaker Pac-10 teams, Cal and UW -- if you fancy yourself an NCAA contender.
call!

Why are we embarrassing ourselves by having USC basketball games announced on the blog? We're a football, baseball, hot chicks, and water polo school

The team sorely missed Davon Jefferson...

It'll be interesting to see if WSU can continue to field a competative basketball team, Pullman isn't an easy place to recruit to
