  LOS ANGELES >> The play that made Jaylen Hands a brief viral sensation last year was a flashy between-the-legs lob pass. This year, he didn’t even need a ball to find internet fame again.
  The clip of Hands literally lifting up Moses Brown’s chin in overtime against Oregon in January was the lasting social media impression of UCLA’s dramatic overtime win. It was added to UCLA’s hype video before home games, immortalized in a faceless doodle people and turned into a s

  LOS ANGELES >> When USC basketball coach Andy Enfield meets with reporters, he delivers most of his comments in a tactful tone. Off-the-cuff remarks are rare.
  Frustration, though, oozed from Enfield last week.
  It was at a news conference at the Galen Center following the Trojans’ latest stumble, a 67-62 loss to Oregon State, that ended a brief two-game winning streak and marked their fourth loss in six games, pushing their record closer to .500.
