Despite a miserable NBA record and not having coached in the college ranks in almost 8 years, former Iowa State head coach Tim Floyd is expected to be named Rick Majerus’ replacement at USC.

HoopsHype.com is reporting that former St. Johns guard Felipe Lopez, last seen doing Spanish commentary on NBA broadcasts, had a tryout scheduled with the Los Angeles Clippers.
