Clay Helton is back for another shot at restoring Southern California. The Huskies are seeking some redemption. Herm Edwards turning Arizona State into a Pac-12 contender.
UCLA and Southern California are in the regional semifinals of the same men's NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007 and the third time overall.
