DeShaun Foster, no stranger to the crosstown rivalry, tried his hand at a little smack talk this week, which reminded of the time late USC head coach John Robinson, while addressing a large gathering of fans and boosters prior to the 1979 big game, proclaimed: “Raise your hand if you’re a Trojan. Or, if you’re a Bruin, raise your standards.”

When Harbaugh was at Michigan, he famously reacted to Day’s smack talk by using the third-base reference to claim the coach had not paid his dues.

The Bruins offset the Trojans’ seven blocks in the first half — including one by Bronny James that led to a technical foul for following it up with smack talk — with 10 offensive rebounds.

But if you’re a chess enthusiast, you’re more likely to stop by for an over-the-board “a— whooping,” where he’ll snap up your pieces with a side of smack talk before “leaving ’em with two pieces to go.”

No. 1 LSU’s dynamic, high-scoring, 6-foot-3 power forward expresses her passion for basketball in the way she fights ferociously for rebounds, dives for loose balls, celebrates big baskets with dance moves or — at times - antagonizes opposing players with an intense glare, a gesture or a little smack talk.
