    This year's team proves what we probably

    already had known for years. It’s much easier to win games when you have the best player on the court on your team. Ucla and AZ have had that advantage for years now. Its nice to play against ucla and az and know its not a huge uphill battle due to the talent disparity.

    Yes, remember what it was like to play Arizona with Ayton? Holy smokes. That really sucked.

    Nice to put the shoe on the other foot. No one wants to play USC right now.

      Our bigs trying to guard him in the P12 Championship was one of the most demoralizing things I've seen on a basketall court, lol

    We were underdogs almost every year against Arizona and Ucla (and Oregon more recently) and while its nice pulling the upset every once and awhile, the odds aren't good.

      As we get more players sticking on NBA rosters, I think CAE and the assistants (including coach Mobley) will be able to make a strong case that SC is a good choice for elite players. An all-SC NBA team with Big O, Nikola, Derozen, Melton, Metu, and JMac would win some games. Gibson had a nice run as well. Add Evan next year to this impressive group.

      Somehow we've got to get another Jmac though.

      you can apply to that to the rest of college basketball. I need to find the excel chart but in the last decade every national champion in college basketball had an average of a Top 10 recruiting class in the past 3 years before winning the title.

        Pretty sure Villanova and Virginia did not.

          you're right Villanova didnt have any Top 10 classes in the 3 years preceding the title seasons. Virginia did have one in in 2016 (#7 on 247).

          Either way most teams can't win unless if they have Top 10 talent on the court, Wisconsin (under Bo) and Villanova tend to be exception to the norm. Hope USC continues to win to get more recruits' attention.
