Flu outbreak hampers USC's preparation for UCLA game
Briefly

"It's had a little bit of an impact," Riley said. "Like I told the guys today, Saturday at 7:30, nobody's going to care what you had or didn't have. You got to be ready to go play the game."
Riley described the locker room as looking like a 'MASH unit' leading up to the last game due to flu illness, highlighting the severity of the outbreak.
Riley expressed hope that the outbreak hit its peak on Tuesday, allowing for recovery time before the rivalry matchup against UCLA.
Although many players have had reduced practice time, Riley emphasized the importance of mental preparation and noted that most affected are recovering quickly.
