"If LSU wins ---Sou Cal is going to claim the NC"

even though they didn't go to the NCAA or NIT tournament Breaking News: USC Set to Claim Men's Basketball Title
By Michael Smith
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES. (AP) The USC basketball team is currently holding a press
conference in which the team is unveiling a plan contingent on LSU
winning the NCAA men's basketball championship. After LSU pulled off an
upset over #1 ranked Duke in the Southeast Semifinal, USC supporters
around the
nation have pulled together to campaign for USC being named a
co-champion. The basketball team has transformed that fervor into a
legitimate claim of a national championship.
Tim Floyd, head coach for USC, stated, "It's our bread and butter. Our
football team can do it, we feel confident that we are able to also. We
are considering the possibilities of claiming the championship outright
because neither LSU nor USC signed a contract with the NCAA Tournament."
Floyd was referring to the 2003-2004 college football season when USC
claimed a national title even though they did not even play in the
National Championship Game to which they agreed would decide the
National Champion.
"We are big LSU fans right now", said Floyd. "We didn't make the NCAA
or NIT Tournaments, but really, does that matter? The press loves us,
and to borrow unsubstantiated claims from the media in 2003, isn't it
just clearly obvious that USC is better than LSU?"
LSU officials have not responded to calls and emails for interviews.
Officials at the AP Poll have stated that if LSU wins the Tournament,
USC has a very strong possibility for being ranked #1 in the poll. **********************************
