The Galen Center’s hoops sizzle and swish as the USC Trojans try to ride their hard-nosed brand of basketball to a victory over Washington State and finish the season on a high note. After losing star forward Nikola Vucevic to the NBA draft, head coach Kevin O’Neill has turned his attention to a roster brimming with budding talent, including 2011 Pac-10 all-freshman honoree Maurice Jones. Across the court, the Cougars’ usual tactics of climbing the backboard and hissing at the ball as it approaches the net will prove all for naught as the Trojans’ athletic squad harvests a bountiful feast of points from vicious dunks and net-swishing three-point shots. Forward Garrett Jackson, meanwhile, patrols the paint for USC, ferreting out backdoor cuts and deporting suspicious wooden horses. In its fifth year as the home of USC basketball, the raucous 10,258-seat Galen Center maintains its reputation as a hostile environment for opposing squads and silence-loving librarians.
