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.

Tournament lock

Having cemented at least a fourth-place finish in the Pac-10 and having a shot at second, the players feel they guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Tournament with this victory.

``We're playing for seeding now,'' Lodrick Stewart said. ``There's not a doubt we're going to the tournament. I think we're going now, and the coaches feel the same way.''

In your profile, it says you will "take credit for the success" of USC this season. Isn't your job to stay impartial and objective?

MK edit: Oh, the first anonymous commenter. Actually, my job is to cover the USC basketball team in a way partial to a USC audience. If my job were to be impartial, my game story for today would be half about USC and half about Cal. My lead would either be about the winning team or the best angle, not always from a USC perspective. It's the AP's job to be impartial.

As for the joke in the bio, be clear that taking credit for an occurrence does not mean you want it to happen. It means you caused it to happen. USC's turnaround coincides with both my covering the program and Floyd coaching it. You be the judge on which is the proper cause-and-effect relationship.
