The USC’s basketball program was moving forward on all its cylinders:

2008-09 Season

(1) Pac-10 Tournament Champion
(2) USC make it to the NCAA tournament as a ten seed.
(3) In their first round match up, beat a stunned Boston College team.
(4) In their second round game; they played well, and lost a close game against a very good Michigan State Spartans team.

Momentum

USC could build on the momentum from their hard fought game against the Spartans.
