Born in Boston, Massachusetts to Steven Wolf and Susan Enowitch, Wolf was raised in West Orange, New Jersey. He graduated in 1986 from West Orange High School. Staff Writer Conventional wisdom was that if USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. could get offensive contributions from its top four players, the Trojans would be able to win most Pacific-10 Conference The Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) is a college athletic conference which operates in the western United States. It participates in the NCAA's Division I. Membership Full members games. But it didn't quite work out that way in Wednesday's 83-78 loss to UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX at Pauley Pavilion Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion, informally and commonly known as Pauley Pavilion, is an indoor arena located on the campus of UCLA in Los Angeles, California. It is home to the UCLA Bruins men's and women's basketball teams. The men's and women's volleyball teams also play here. .

Early life Bluthenthal, who is Jewish, represented the United States at the Maccabiah Games in 1997. had 19 and guard Brandon Granville had 14 but it still wasn't enough for the Trojans. One reason was that the team's other capable scorer, guard Nate Hair, had just four points. And no other player scored for the Trojans (13-9, 6-4). --Clancy gets boot off: USC forward Sam Clancy had a protective boot removed from his broken foot Tuesday and said he had not experienced any pain. He showed up for the UCLA game wearing dress shoes and minus the crutches and boot he has worn the past two weeks. ``It doesn't hurt when I walk,'' Clancy said. But he was less optimistic about his return than USC coach Henry Bibby, who said Clancy could play again in as little as two weeks. ``Maybe three or four,'' Clancy said. --Another reminder: Not that Granville could forget, but Bibby reminded him in front of the rest of the team Wednesday that he went 0 for 10 from the field during last year's game at Pauley Pavilion. It was clearly on Granville's mind when he hit his first 3-pointer, with 4:15 remaining, because he aggressively pumped his fist after making the shot. Granville made only one of five shots in the first half but had six assists and only one turnover. Granville broke USC's single-season record for assists in the second half. Larry Friend set the record in 1984-85 with 176. Trepagnier has already broken the single-season record for steals. --Normal pattern: Bibby followed his normal substitution pattern Wednesday. He started freshman center Kostas Charissis to combat UCLA's height advantage but inserted Hair when Charissis picked up his second foul 90 seconds into the contest. The only other substitution was point guard Rashad Jones, who played one minute in the first half. Charissis played even less in the second half, picking up his third foul just 13 seconds into the second half. ``Guys only get tired when they don't make shots,'' Bibby said. ``When I played and went 8 for 10, I could play 40 minutes. But when I was 0 for 10, it felt like I spent two hours out there. |
