After a three-game losing streak, USC Trojans coach Eric Musselman asked NBA teams for help. Since then, the Trojans' men's basketball team has been improving on the defensive side and has won two straight games.
After losing to the Oregon Ducks, Musselman knew that changes needed to be made quickly for the team to make a run in the Big Ten. Musselman was honest with his team, and he and the staff worked hard to fix the defensive mishaps.
For two weeks, the Trojans ran two-on-two pick-and-roll actions. Musselman believes that the changes made have already been helping. The defense has stepped up, and the team is winning. The Trojans have since won two games in a row, not allowing more than 63 points. “We just needed to put them in some different situations,” Musselman said. “And I thought it really helped us."
