The history of USC women's basketball -- a glorious past of national championships and great players like Cheryl Miller and Lisa Leslie, followed by a long nightmare of coaching turnover, lawsuits, and losing.

But the Trojans might be back this year. Yes, they're only 2-3 right now. But two of those were very close games against UConn and New Mexico. Only one wasn't close (against, ahem, the Minnesota Golden Gophers).

No, USC isn't gonna win the NCAA title. But they should have a solid season, and they could compete at the top of the Pac 10. That will help keep the program moving forward again.
