The USC women’s basketball program, it is important to note, is not doing something new. It is doing what it used to do 40 years ago. Everyone needs to remember that point.
USC women’s basketball is not a program which has never tasted elite success. The Trojans were the first dynastic power in women’s college hoops after the Women’s NCAA Tournament began in 1982. They were the first Division I team to win two NCAA Tournaments. Cheryl Miller was the leader of those USC teams. She is one of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time and a certified legend of the game.
After the 2024 USC team beat UCLA to rise to No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports Women’s College Basketball Poll and become a projected No. 2 seed in the Women’s NCAA Tournament, Miller addressed the Women of Troy. She had a lot to say, and the three-minute speech is worth watching and sharing to every Trojan you know.
“The Bruins never saw it coming,” Miller said, praising the quality of USC’s effort against UCLA.
Here’s the speech in full:
When the đ speaks, everyone listens.
