It Took A Team
USC men's basketball is on the rise after returning to the NCAA Tournament this season despite the media projecting the Trojans to finish 10th in the Pac-12. By coming together as one, USC exceeded expectations to knock off a Top 10 Arizona team, sweep UCLA over three contests and energize the Trojan Family to fill the Galen Center again.
The program celebrated its season last night at the annual men's basketball banquet with nine different Trojans picking up awards. Here are the winners:
The Harold Jones Award (Most Improved) - Julian Jacobs
Bob Boyd Award (Top Rebounder) - Nikola Jovanovic
Ryan Francis Scholarship Award (Example of Being a Trojan) - Bennie Boatwright & Chimezie Metu
Bill Sharman Award (Top FT Percentage) - Katin Reinhardt
Forrest F. Twogood Award (Best Defensive Player) - Jordan McLaughlin
Dr. James Zumberge Award (Top GPA) - Samer Dhillon
John Rudometkin Award (110% Effort) - Strahinja Gavrilovic
Ernie Holbrook Award (Most Inspirational) - Darion Clark
Along with honoring the players, head coach Andy Enfield paid tribute to outgoing athletic director Pat Haden and his wife Cindy Haden, who both received standing ovations. Here are the Pierson Clair photos:
