That sound you hear is whining, and lots of it, coming from just off the Harbor Freeway on Figueroa Street. The u$c trojans have been left out of March Madness, and their fans can’t believe it. They thought they were a shoo-in, but after losing to UCLA at home a couple of weeks ago, they — as I explained then — exchanged places with the Bruins, going from “last four in” to “first four out.”
But after that painful loss, trojan fans thought they had climbed back into the Dance by winning two games in the Pac-12 Tournament.
