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.

Back in the tourney

Tim Floyd last coached in the NCAA Tournament in 1997, helping Iowa State reach the Sweet 16. Iowa State missed the tournament the next season, then Floyd left to the NBA to coach the Chicago Bulls.

``It seems unbelievable it's been 10 years but it has,'' Floyd said. ``... It's always an exciting time, a time I missed when I was in the NBA. I always paid close attention to the games and how my friends were doing around the country.''
