Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time
at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight
run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the
school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era.
After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full
time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the
rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim
Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean,
he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School
in Woodland Hills.
Gibson vs. Mata II
UCLA forward Lorenzo Mata is one of the few players to get the best of USC freshman Taj Gibson this year. Mata made some key putbacks down the stretch and finished with 12 points and eight rebounds in UCLA's 65-64 victory. Gibson was held to nine points after entering the game scoring in double figures in 10 of his previous 11 games.
``He didn't give me a tough time,'' Gibson said. ``He just got a couple of easy baskets. He got a couple of layups on me doing dumb plays trying to block shots. He's one of the top defenders I've faced this year, though. He's one of the only defenders who is tall and agile.''
