USC Trojans vs. Tennessee, December 19, 2009 1:30 PM PST, Fox Sports West
For the first time since a December 3rd matchup against Texas in Austin, a USC basketball game will be televised - this time on Fox Sports West. However, the Trojans may not like too many people to tune, as they take on 9th ranked Tennessee, causing many pundits nationwide to predict a blowout in favor of the Volunteers. But still, there is a chance, albeit a small one, for Kevin O'Neill's bunch to earn an upset after the group was competitive against the second-ranked Longhorns earlier this month. Here's a short preview from the Los Angeles Times:
Update: USC has won two straight games since consecutive defeats to ranked teams on the road. Tennessee has won four straight since its only loss of the season, a 73-72 defeat to then-No. 5 Purdue in the final of the Paradise Jam. The Volunteers return five starters from a 21-win team a year ago and lead the Southeastern Conference in scoring (84.1) and scoring margin (23.9).
It has been eight days since the Trojans last suited up for a game, so as a result, there have been a few minor changes to the lineup
- Senior point guard Mike Gerrity, who transferred from Charlotte and played at Pepperdine earlier in his career, will finally be eligible after the NCAA granted him a "progress towards degree" waiver. Highly-regarded for his excellent ball handling skills, the Mater Dei product will take over the starting point guard position from Donte Smith, who has started all eight games so far.
- Freshman forward Evan Smith, who has become a valuable contributor off the bench, will miss this afternoon's game after suffering a mild concussion during practice last Tuesday. He also missed the Sacramento State game a week ago after contracting bronchitis.
- Sophomore point guard Percy Miller, who was serving as the backup to Smith during Gerrity's absence, is questionable for the game because of an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder that was aggravated about a week ago.
- While Gerrity is now eligible to play, the Trojans are still waiting for sophomore Leonard Washington to become elgible as well, but unlike the senior point guard, he was not granted a waiver and must wait until the team's December 31st matchup against Arizona to finally take the court.
So tonight's starting 5 should look something like this:
F-Marcus Johnson
G-Mike Gerrity
Much like the games against Texas and Georgia Tech, today's matchup will provide this group with a learning experience and opportunity to grow as a unit against tough competition. But still, the goal is clearly to come away with a victory, and there a few things the Trojans can do to put themselves in a position to do just that.
- Take care of the ball. There is no question that the Achilles heel of this team has been their knack for turnovers. So far, they rank last in the Pac-10 in this department, but with the return of Gerrity, there is reason to believe that progress could be made.
- Slow the game down. This is extremely important for two main reasons. One, the Trojans don't have a ton of depth so if they're forced to play a high energy, up-and-down contest than it's certainly foreseeable for their players to get sluggish during the second half. Two, Tennessee is one of the highest scoring teams in the country and excels in transition. The Trojans fail in both categories, as they are not known for their scoring and are far more half court-oriented team. Playing at that pace, would be the quickest way for them to put themselves out of the game.
- Stay out of foul trouble. The Trojans will need their two big men, Alex Stepheson and Nikola Vucevic, to play close to 40 minutes, as Tennessee relies on an athletic front line for a lot of their scoring. Once again, the Trojans have a thin bench so if either Stepheson or Vucevic get in foul trouble early, it could be a long afternoon for O'Neill's crew.
Prediction: As much as I'd like to see, I simply can't envision a scenario in which USC is able to pull off the upset, primarily because Tennessee is such a quality basketball team that is more than deserving of their top ten ranking. I think this will be similar to the Texas game, in which the Trojans are competitive for the first half, until the Volunteers blow it open with a strong second half. So in the end, I think Tennessee rolls 73-57.

Good prediction
Tenn is just too much. In fact, I like Tenn to win the NCAA championship this season. You heard it here first. Tenn Vols, NCAA hoops champion, men’s team, 2010. Just hope my Trojans are competitive and Gerrity plays well.

8-2 USC, just under 12 minutes to play
Sloppy indeed, but USC could have not asked for a better start. Tennessee wanted to come in and jump out to a big early lead

Great effort and D from the Trojans. Can they hold up in the 2nd half? Will Santa visit early?

Hopefully Gerrity got enough rest to finish strong
USC Sports Talk, contributor http://uscsportstalk.blogspot.com
We are outstanding on the boards
Up 36 to 11. That compensates for the 16 to 7 turnover margin.
Fight On! Beat the Wolverines!

I actually have a bet with one of my friends
That USC would finish in the top half of the Pac 10. He jumped on it like it was the dumbest thing he had ever heard in his life. I’m feeling pretty good about it right now. I wish I wasn’t back home because I guarantee I would have made it to this game.

Well....
I’d still argue that the win over Texas was a bigger win, but a pretty big win. Maybe the second biggest of the Galen Center Years.
Nah, I was saying the Texas game was the biggest win.
I think #3 would be when OJ Mayo and Davon Jefferson dominated UCLA at Pauley. The Pac 10 tournament ASU win was pretty great too, if I’m remembering correctly they closed a 15 point half time deficit to win it.

Hey Tex!
One of the Mushroom people was proposing bringing SMU into the Pac-10. Not too shabby, no?
¡Fusílenlo, después veriguamos! - Pancho Villa
by Locoweed 1.1 on Dec 19, 2009 4:03 PM PST up reply actions
Hmmmm, I've heard TCU and Texas A&M too.
SMU would be a great fit if they were better athletically. And, you would need an in-state rival for them, as the Pac-X likes to schedule the paired teams to travel together, like in hoops.
SMU certainly has tons of potential athletically, and they have done it before. TCU has really come on academically too. TCU and SMU?
THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING!
SMU’s Tier 1 status and academics (USNWR #68) would place it as #6 in the Pac-10. Texas A&M is the real deal, Tier 1 and rank #61. Both schools blow ASU (Tier 1, #121), WSU (Tier 1, #106), Arizona (Tier 1, #102) and OSU (Tier 3, unranked) completely out of the water academically. TCU is a Tier 1 school and rank is #110, not bad but the Ponies and Aggies have better academics.

I love Texas A&M
it is an awesome college in so many ways. have my grad degree from there. can’t see them leaving the B12 though.
another angle might be a U of Houston or Rice. Houston, #4 metro area in US. both schools capable of being much more than they currently are. Rice should rank high on your academic rating, and is great in baseball. I doubt UofH ranks very high though, but has storied football and hoops history.
adding 2 TX schools is probably the only expansion that would get me excited. huge markets, leading growth state, big money, and very easy travel from Houston or Dallas to AZ and Cali. that would be awesome.
Rice has elite academics; it’s a Hidden Ivy school, right up there with Northwestern, Notre Dame, Vandy and Wake Forest.

Hidden Ivy!
I love it. Was not familiar. Wake, never would have thunk it. Familiar with Wash U in StL, excellent. Very interesting. SMU would love to be on that list. Not quite there yet.

I just chopped down a Christmas tree and brought it in!
I have to actually mount it and place it where I need to in my pad, but. . . . does the final score really mean it’s the final score. We beat the Vols? In MEN’S basketball?
Un-freaking-real. (Although I’m no where near being Irish- somebody still. . . . .pinch me!
(wow, unplanned ND reference? that’s strange?)

there was so much hype with mike gerrity...

fade away jump shot, and the free throw ritual. Great USC player. Ronnie Coleman, Yamen Sanders, Mark Boyd, Duane Cooper. Great team.
Arguably the best team we ever had...
One freakish three pointer from a deep run in the Tournament.

I was at that game.
Ben Chua jinxed the whole team when he got on the headset and said "This game is over, break out the champagne, its time to party.
Then Forrest hits that 3 pointer. We all started punching Ben for jinxing us. Its all his fault.
Ancient history now, sigh…

Coop and Coleman lived on my floor at Pardee as a frosh!
Harold Miner is and forever will be my all-time favorite hoopster. I was waiting tables at Sunday brunch in Mammoth and got teary-eyed when Forrest hit the three.
I still think the Sam Clancy/Granville/Scalabrine team was better. They sure gave the Dukies a run for their money in the Elite 8.
I wish that Baby Jordan would come out of hiding for some well-deserved recognition at Galen.
Forrest occupies spot #2 in the hall of infamy; behind Vince Young.

When I was living in Vegas in 97 I pick-up Cooper at my sports club in a 5 on 5 full court game.
Nobody knew who he was and we just dominated as long as we wanted to stay, we both laughed at these guys going who is that dude.

If you know Duane
tell him he was one of my favorite all time USC players….. and yes I would have recognized him and called bulls**t on you guys.
Duane was very, very cool!
Still have some SC practice shorts that he gave me as a frosh. A fantastic guy. Coleman, however, was quiet and moody and did not like to be bothered by drunk frat kids.
He's very reclusive
Remember when they were doing all that half time stuff and bringing back like Bob Boyd and Desmon Farmer? Well they tried to get Harold Miner to come back and be honored but they couldn’t even really get in touch with him. I hope he’s doing alright, I was too young to really be an SC fan during his prime but I remember seeing him win those dunk contests.
Oh yeah, and the time when Desmon cam back was really funny. He thanked the audience for inviting him and basically took all the credit for laying the foundation for all of USC’s success under Tim Floyd. Still toiling away in the NBDL though, I hope he manages to land on a Euro team or get a contract someday, but it seems like that dream is fading.
I think I should do a post some time looking at what some of the recent former Trojan players are up to. Did you know Davon Jefferson is averaging 18.5 PPG, 8.6 RPG, and 2.5 APG for the Maccabi Haifa Heat in Israel this season?
