USC basketball is heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2007 with hopes on becoming the second USC team in modern NCAA tournament history to reach the Elite Eight. Sam Clancy, one of the star players from the 2001 team that advanced to the Elite Eight, joins Shotgun Spratling to discuss the similarities between this year's NCAA tournament run and the run he was a part of in 2001. Clancy also talks about the life lessons professional basketball taught him, what re-sparked his love for the game and why he thinks USC could make a run to its first Final Four since 1954.
