LAS VEGAS — Moments after USC opened the Pac-12 Tournament with a win over Washington, Coach Andy Enfield let off a little steam.
“I think there’s an East Coast bias in the media,” Enfield began.
A reporter’s question struck a chord, when it was pointed out that the Trojans’ first-round game against the Huskies had tipped off after 8:30 p.m., near midnight along the East Coast.
Could it damage Pac-12 teams’ prospects for making the NCAA Tournament, as well as their seeding? Were any viewers even awake?
Faced with the premise, Enfield smiled and nodded along.
