USC basketball was one of the last teams to grab a bid to the NCAA tournament on Sunday, set to face Providence in the First Four play-in game on Wednesday.
But not everyone is happy about the Trojans second-consecutive trip to the Big Dance. Among those is ESPN analyst Dick Vitale.
Vitale told FanSided Editorial Director Michael Collins that the Orange deserved USC’s bid:
“Syracuse won 10 games in the toughest conference of all, and I would have a comparison with Syracuse, and with Southern Cal. Not going to take away from Southern Cal — the Trojans, they won 24 games — but they were 9-8 in their last 17.
