We spent 55 minutes talking with college basketball expert Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated about USC’s basketball season and the Pac-12 hoops season. Our conversation went in a lot of different directions, touching on several different topics.
We talked about the season opener against Kansas State, the December 2 game against Gonzaga, the main competition in the Pac-12 (Arizona and UCLA in particular), and the various components of this USC roster and how Andy Enfield will manage them.
We discussed the fact that Bronny James and Vince Iwuchukwu aren’t yet healthy, and that the roster will be different — and not as good — with those two players missing.
If you’re a USC hoops fan or just an interested observer, it doesn’t matter: This is a great primer on USC as the new season begins.
Our thanks to Kevin Sweeney for joining us.
