Bibby Is Resorting to Musical Chairs

USC Coach Henry Bibby was quick to yank players who were not performing well against Oregon on Thursday night. Eight of the 12 players who got into the game played at least 10 minutes. But in his search for someone who could score and protect the ball (the Trojans had 19 turnovers), Bibby limited the play of two freshmen who had been contributing.

Greg Lakey, who started at forward, played only eight minutes. And swingman Jeff Trepagnier, who had been playing well in recent games and was averaging more than 16 minutes, played only five.
