ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his updated Bracketology for the 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament this week. Lunardi currently has USC as his fifth team left out of the field, behind only Kentucky, West Virginia, Northwestern, and Texas A&M.

The Trojans have a huge opportunity to potentially move into the field tonight when they visit number eleven Arizona. Tip off is set for 6:00 PM PST on Pac 12 Network.

Allyson Felix Field

USC’s track field officially has a new name. On Wednesday, the university announced that it will now be known as Allyson Felix Field, named after the USC alum and eleven-time Olympic medalist.

Previously, the field was named after former USC Track and Field, Football, and Basketball coach Dean Cromwell. Over the past few years, however, there have been an increasing number of cries for the university to rename the field due to the fact that Cromwell was a well-noted antisemite and Nazi sympathizer. Famously, he kicked two Jewish sprinters off of the 1936 U.S. Olympic Track and Field team (of which he was the coach) in order to appease Adolph Hitler.
