With USC’s lax early-season basketball schedule about to turn hectic, the Trojans are crossing their fingers and praying they’ll get a reinforcement before Friday’s game against Oklahoma at Staples Center.
Guard De’Anthony Melton sat out the Trojans’ first six games while the school investigated a bribery and corruption case. But a resolution that would allow Melton to return to the court could be in sight, Vicki I. Podberesky, the player’s attorney, said Thursday.
“Adding another player like Melton improves our depth significantly,” said USC coach Andy Enfield, who added he was “hopeful” Melton would suit up Friday for the No.
