The college basketball season begins on Monday. USC fans who are disappointed with the football program can turn their attention to the realm of roundball. USC has a women’s team which is a Final Four contender. The Trojans have a men’s team with a new coach, Eric Musselman, who is taking over after 11 years of leadership from Andy Enfield.
