Washington State Beats USC

The Washington State Cougars beat the University of Southern California Trojans last night, improving the record of the Cougars to 14-0. The Wazzu are one of only a few, including Memphis and North Carolina, unbeaten teams left in D-I hoops. You can catch the recap of the Washington State-USC game here. This story is worth covering because the Cougars seem to be rising to the basketball elite after years of playing at the bottom of the Pac-10. They did well in the tournament last year, and this year they are proving that it was no fluke.

While there were big expectations for many Pac-10 teams coming into the season, some have fallen short of them. USC is included in the disappointing bunch. At 9-6 overall and 0-3 in conference play, USC isn’t looking good at all. It was thought that O.J. Mayo would be the biggest thing since Mustard, but Mayo hasn’t been able to get many wins for the Men of Troy this season. In the Pac-10 Stanford is doing well, as is UCLA, and Arizona State has come out of nowhere to be a top contender in the conference.
