Rayah Marshall sets the tone for No. 4 USC in win over No. 25 Illinois

LA Times  

When Lindsay Gottlieb was hired at USC in May 2021, her first call went to Rayah Marshall. She was standing in her kitchen in Ohio at the time, uncertain if Marshall, then a McDonald’s All-American, would even consider honoring the commitment she’d made to USC’s previous coach. Almost four years later, as Marshall emerged from the Galen Center tunnel for her final regular season home game, that vision was almost fully realized. Marshall certainly got her flowers Sunday in an 76-66 win over Illinois, turning in a trademark performance befitting her four years at USC. Illinois’ Genesis Bryant, center, is fouled while shooting between USC’s Clarice Akunwafo, left, and guard JuJu Watkins during the first half Sunday.
