USC men’s basketball gets another big win, takes down Nebraska on the road

USC already has several road wins in Big Ten play. The Trojans are punching back in their new conference.

After falling short against a very good Wisconsin team on Saturday, USC men’s basketball is back in the win column in the Big Ten. On Wednesday night, the Trojans traveled to Nebraska and took down the Huskers, 78-73. The victory improved the Trojans to 12-7 on the season, 4-4 in conference play. Three of USC’s four conference losses have come against teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25.

It was another big night for Desmond Claude, who led the Trojans with 21 points. Wesley Yates III added 17 points of his own, while Reshaun Agee had 14 and eight rebounds. Nebraska native Saint Thomas, playing in his home state, had 11 points, five rebounds, and four assists.

Following Wednesday’s victory, the Trojans have now won three of their past four games. Up next: the first Crosstown Showdown of the season against UCLA on Monday night, January 27, at Galen Center. USC is still not in good position to make the NCAA Tournament. However, if USC can deliver wins in Galen against UCLA and then several days later against Michigan State on February 1, the Trojans will definitely be in the middle of the bubble conversation.

Nebraska fans started a ‘We want Urban’ chant for Urban Meyer and everyone is trying to warn them against it

Nebraska fans, y’all do not want these problems

Look, it’s understandable that Nebraska fans are trying to settle their coaching situation. The program fired Scott Frost after just 3 weeks into the season. He’s supposed to be coaching against Oklahoma today but he’s at home with the rest of us. It absolutely stinks that he’s not that guy.

But Nebraska fans really, really, really have to be careful what they wish for.

They broke out into a “We want Urban” chant for Urban Meyer on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday and, boy, was that a mistake.

For those of you who don’t know, Fox hired Meyer to be part of its college football broadcast on Saturdays. So he heard all this and is taking it all in. And, uh, he seems to like it.

Just look at the delight in this man’s face.

Keep playing, Nebraska. Urban might end up wanting y’all back. And those are problems you absolutely do not want in your life.

We were all there when he sabotaged the Jaguars, right? Like, y’all. It was bad enough that Josh Allen praised Doug Pederson for actually not being Urban Meyer. That’s the only bar he had to clear.

It’s not just the NFL. His Ohio State legacy is absolute garbage, too. This dude stinks. We told you exactly 12 times how he is actually the worst — and we haven’t updated the list yet.

Everybody is trying to warn Nebraska fans against this. They probably won’t listen though.
