USC’s surprised Trojans move into the loser’s bracket in the Puerto Rico Tipoff Tournament today at 2 p.m. against winless UT Chattanooga (0-3).
The game will be televised at 2 p.m. PST.
Depending on whether they play two halves, as they didn’t do in allowing a seven-man Seton Hall team catch them at the end Thursday in a 63-61 upset, the Trojans will play either Missouri or …

Washington vs. Washington State is not one of them.
Yet one can’t help but have a morbid curiosity about a game between teams that are a combined 1-20 and 0-15 in the Pac-10.

The Trojans won’t actually play a football game, but we should have a clearer view of their potential postseason after Saturday’s action has concluded.

Posted by ESPN.com’s Ted Miller Eight things to consider, underline or anticipate heading into the weekend. 1. Moevao at 75 percent or backup Canfield at 100? Oregon State quarterback Lyle Moevao didn’t look fully healthy last weekend against California, though he managed the victory fairly well. He hasn’t practiced much this week; his strained throwing shoulder is still bothering him. Sean Canfield is …

If Moevao, who’s nursing a sore throwing shoulder, can’t go, Sean Canfield will get the start. Canfield came off the bench in the second quarter of the win over Arizona State and then started the …
