For East Coasters, it’s midnight madness — and the madness at USC continues unsurprisingly with a healthy Chimezie Metu, the Trojans’ main man, sitting out again to avoid injury before the NBA draft. With No. 2 scorer Bennie Boatwright previously scratched for a more legitimate reason (injury), USC seemed lifeless for most of its double-overtime escape over UNC-Asheville. Western Kentucky represents an upgrade in opponents and, having blasted Boston College last week, is taking the NIT seriously — certainly more than the Trojans are.
