Rebuilt USC basketball program on 'the right path'

/ STAFF WRITER

A historic season for USC’s men’s basketball team reached its apex last week.

The Trojans pulled off another dramatic comeback, upending SMU after a game-winning 3-pointer by Elijah Stewart in the final minute to advance to the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32. Two days earlier, they had rallied from 17 points to top Providence in a tournament play-in game.

Amid a celebratory locker room at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., someone had written, “26,” on a whiteboard.

It was for a program-record 26th victory.

Through the first four seasons of Coach Andy Enfield’s tenure, USC has seen yearly improvement.
