Not only was Lute Olson taking in Thursday’s game while sitting directly on the Arizona-side baseline along with wife Kelly, but he also received a “bonus” at halftime.
USC staffers set up a table right in front of Olson that featured a fan trying to move pingpong balls with a spoon in his mouth. The fan’s goal was to spoon over more pingpong balls to another bowl than USC guard Elijah Stewart did during a taped segment.
The entire contest — and Olson — was shown on the Galen Center videoboard as fans cheered. Stewart won, however.
