Southern California and UC Davis won First Four games in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday. Here’s a recap of the night’s action:

Lisa Horne has spent much of the last 10 years blogging and writing for FOX Sports, and her specialty is college football. Since she lives in Southern California, there was nobody better to join 600 ESPN El Paso and discuss the bizarre incident involving USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian...

UTEP head coach Tim Floyd was not on the bench tonight as he was serving a one-game suspension after receiving two technical fouls and getting ejected by the officials Thursday night in Rustin, Louisiana. Tonight, his team blew a 24-point second half lead and lost 63-60 to Southern Miss...
