LOS ANGELES – Andy Enfield is not one to yell. His offensive system is built to be free and loose, and it’s an ideal match for his disposition. The third-year USC coach prefers his teams to play relaxed.
For the first time in March, Enfield and his players might finally have reason to be.
When USC (20-10, 9-9 Pac-12) opens Pac-12 Tournament play as the No.7 seed against No.10 UCLA (15-16, 6-12) on Wednesday night, it will mark the first conference tournament Enfield has ever coached that didn’t involve clear win-or-go-home stakes for his program. The Trojans likely need just one win in Las Vegas to get off the at-large berth bubble before Selection Sunday.
