Columnist ArashMarkazi is bringing you live coverage of USC-UCLA. The crosstown rivals are looking to burst the other team’s NCAA tournament bubble
A seven-game win streak and a first-place standing has brought a lot of attention to UCLA’s basketball team. But the Bruins’ focus on their game against USC on Saturday.“I don’t care what they say,” Rakocevic said when asked if USC’s tournament resumé was getting enough attention. “It’s all just noise.”
But where the Trojans are still seeking validation, the surging Bruins — and their 8-1 record in February — aren’t sliding under the radar any longer.“It’s not going to go to my head,” Cronin said. “The players is another concern. … It’s your job as a coach, you’ve got to make sure your team’s feet get back on the ground.”
Okongwu’s coaches and teammates have already accepted his one-and-done fate as a foregone conclusion. So Saturday presents an opportunity for the big man to put a stamp on his sole season at USC.
