Huge win for the Trojans in a major west coast battle.
Number of the Day
3 - We are down to our last 3 undefeated teams. UCLA (10-0), USC (8-0), & Belmont Abbey (4-0). This is probably too soon, but there is a really good chance that all of these teams make the national tournament. But the real question is who will be the last undefeated team in the country? Let me know what you think.
