About halfway into Sunday's NCAA tournament selection show, rumors began to spread among the USC basketball team.
The Trojans were at Galen Center watching the show and felt good about their chances, but they weren't a lock. So they waited.
One bracket filled up. No USC. Then another.
The tension evaporated quickly and strangely.
USC learned it was in when someone on Twitter leaked the complete bracket halfway into the show.
The Trojans learned they would be the No. 8 seed in the East Regional and play No. 9 Providence in the first round.
