Let’s take a look at USC’s men’s basketball state going to Office
On Thursday night, USC’s men’s basketball season ended with a loss of 76-71 in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. With the final record of 16-17, Trojan will certainly not be eligible for post season game this year.
Now after the end of the USC season, it is time to step back and review the year. There is a variety of post mortem in the first Trojan campaign in Big Tan.
Year of reconstruction
One year in the Eric Masmal period was always an important reconstruction. Trojan returned only one scholarship player last season. It has always been a difficult war for USC to compete in the Big Tan.
Heavy roster from transition
Since the Messenger was hired for so long (his introductory press conference was not till April 5 last year) and he was inherited so little, so he was forced to collect a roster in the flight. As a result, the USC team was almost completely transferred. Although Trojan had some good players in his team, he clearly lacked the harmony of team chemistry and many of his opponents, whose players had been with for many years.
Symbols of hope
Although this record was not very good, the USC showed signs of the future of the program in 2024-2025. They went on the road and defeated an Eli -Nayy team who was then in the top ten. He upset a team from Michigan State who will be able to win the title of a regular season conference. And in the Big Ten Tournament, they fought to the end, took the Rotors down and pushed the UCLA on the edge.
Eliminate the stretch
However, this year there was a lot for the Trojans. After the Michigan estate was upset on February 1, the USC won only two games in the rest of the season. He was a domestic competition against two games Penn State and Washington, two worst teams in the Big Tan. And as a cherry at the top, he ended the regular season, facing 90-63 spraying at the hands of the cross-town rival UCLA.
Moving forward
Given that he had to put a roster on the fly, it is difficult for the Mielman to make a lot of decisions for this season. However, moving forward, this is now a fully Messenger program. The next season is significantly collecting a strong roster and making sure that Trojan is more competitive.
Messelman and the USC made a great deal of focus with Five Star Guard Elijah Arenas. The next steps are to ensure that this year’s breakout players live around Desmond Claude and Wesley Yats III and attack the transfer portal for another potential star or two.
