Kara Dunn held her right wrist aloft for an extra beat. Just to be sure. It had been a while, by that point in the second quarter, since USC had seen a deep jumper drop. As Dunn lifted off from behind the arc against Portland on Tuesday, 19 of the Trojans' previous 20 three-point attempts, going back to Saturday's battle with South Carolina, had missed, a stretch of futility strange to a team that mostly scored at will a season ago.

Before she came to USC, it had never occurred to Jazzy Davidson how charmed her basketball upbringing had been. Growing up outside of Portland, nearly all of her years playing the game were spent with the same tight-knit group of girls - girls who'd been best friends since before the fifth grade and who, after all that time, could anticipate her every move before she made it. "They're basically my sisters," Davidson says.
