The Trojans were not among the 68 teams selected to compete in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, a dishonorable decision that flipped the tournament's signature song on its head.
The Trojans finished second in the Pac-12 Conference regular season, finished second in the conference tournament, and were 23-11 with six wins in their last eight games.
Arizona State finished ninth in the Pac-12, lost in the first round of the conference tournament, and dropped five of its last six games.
There were 68 teams selected, and, as anybody who has watched the Trojans in recent weeks could attest, USC would beat a bunch of them.
