MATTHEW KREDELL

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.

Penrose's moment

On a night Galen Center had a its highest attendance at 10,027, the arena culminated its first season with its loudest cheer ever. And it was for a little-used walk-on.

Senior Chris Penrose entered the game with 2:23 remaining, after the crowd had been chanting for him. Each time he touched the ball, fans yelled for him to shoot.

His 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down in the final minute didn't draw iron. But he got one more chance at his ``Rudy'' moment and swished a shot from the right corner with 5.3 seconds to go.

`` I turned around and looked at the student section and couldn’t really hear anything because the place was so loud,’’ said Penrose, who brought his career total to 16 points. ``My heart was going a mile a minute, and I was just so happy and excited. It’s kind of a storybook ending to a little walk-on's career.’’

WTG Chris! A true storybook ending on the home court.

Atta Baby!!!

The thing I am going to miss most about you Chris is you being the first guy off the bench during a timeout doing your leaping chest thump with the guys as they come off the court.

Good luck in your future... you will succeed in whatever road you travel.
