SEATTLE - Fresh off spending more than two hours winding his way in front of a parade crowd that surpassed the population of Seattle, Pete Carroll was ready for the post-season to finally arrive. Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. "These players know that they got better all the way to the last game of the season. Thats always out there for us and that will continue to be our focus." Carroll and his team were feted in grand fashion on Wednesday, enjoying the first championship parade for a team in one of the four major sports in the city of Seattle since 1979. Seattle officials estimated the crowd along the parade route at 700,000 while owner Paul Allen, addressing a celebration at CenturyLink Field, said it was 1 million fans that crammed downtown streets. Carroll was at the front of the parade and later was leading the charge that this team he helped put together is not expecting to be a one-year wonder. "They have come together to do something very special and its not just one year," Carroll told the crowd. "Were just getting warmed up if you know what Im talking about." That means Carroll doesnt believe the Seahawks need to make major off-season additions as they did a year ago when Seattle signed defensive linemen Cliff Avril, Tony McDaniel and Michael Bennett in free agency and traded for Percy Harvin. Seattle will continue to mine the draft for gems like those they have found in the past and look at free agency but Carroll said they are very comfortable with the roster they have moving forward. "The priority is for us to get back to work and work really hard again. Thats going to be more important. Its not going to be something from the outside of us. We have what we need, we just need to get back to work when the time comes with the right attitude and the right focus. Thats all Im concerned about." It appears Seattles free agency focus will be on trying to retain players on its current roster that could be coveted by others. Wide receiver Golden Tate and Bennett will both be free agents in the off-season and both expressed their desire to return to Seattle. Tate is at the end of his rookie contract, while Bennett gambled on a one-year deal with Seattle last off-season and now could be in line for a significant pay increase after a standout season with a team-high 8 1/2 sacks in the regular season and another 1 1/2 in the playoffs. Bennett became the interior pass rusher that Carroll has sought since his arrival in Seattle and part of a defensive line rotation that caused havoc. "I want to be back here 100 per cent," Bennett said. "I love the team. I love my teammates. Pete does a great job letting us play. I want to be a part of that. I know we can go back and win a Super Bowl again with all of these guys." Tate was Seattles leading receiver this season, his fourth with the team after being a second-round pick in 2010 as part of Carrolls first draft class. Tate said he would consider accepting a "little" less money for a chance to stay with the Seahawks. "In my eyes I would rather stay and play in a great organization, in a great city, around great people, around great teammates for a little less than go to a crappy city and win a ball game every now and then and be miserable for six months and have a fan base that doesnt care about the sport," Tate said. "Youve got to give a little or take a little, whatever. Well see how it works out. Hopefully, it does work out. I think Ive done everything in my power to earn the trust and respect of this organization." Carroll said Seattle will go into the off-season very healthy, the only lingering concern being a possible surgery on the toe of left tackle Russell Okung, who was injured in Week 2 against San Francisco and aggravated it later in the season. Harvin came out of the Super Bowl fine with his hip and now gets an entire off-season to get healthy. Anthony Carter Jersey ."

USC, which has won six of its last seven games as it stares down tonights league lid lifter, shot just 41.1 percent from the floor, missing all but one of its seven 3-point tries along the way, but held the Catamounts to 30.2 percent field goal efficiency, which included a woeful 5-of-23 showing out on the perimeter. Despite its favorable record, USC has been lackluster at best on offense this season, netting 68.2 ppg behind typical shooting effortts of .dddddddddddd24 overall, .317 beyond the arc, and .620 at the free-throw line. The Trojans have performed better at the defensive end, yielding just 66.1 ppg, with foes connecting on only 38.9 percent of their total shots, which includes a 29.3 percent effort from long distance. Jordan McLaughlin (13.3 ppg, 5.2 apg) leads the team in both scoring and assists, while Jovanovic and Reinhardt turn in 11.8 and 10.8 ppg, respectively, the former also spearheading the clubs rebounding effort with 8.6 rpg. Carroll College didnt stand much of a chance in its recent attempt at upsetting Utah, as the Fighting Saints shot just 38.8 percent from the floor, which actually included a 6-of-15 performance from 3-point range (.400). They committed 17 turnovers and were beaten badly on the boards (38-15), all while allowing the Utes to drain a sizzling 64.7 percent of their field goal attempts, which included half of their 16 3-point tries. Jordan Loveridge, who had been battling a gimpy knee, made his first appearance since late November and scored a game-high 14 points, knocking down 3-of-4 long-range launches, while Brekkot Chapman tacked on 11 points and Chris Reyes 10 more for Utah in the winning effort. Delon Wright, who had seven helpers in the win over Carroll, has been the Utes most productive player this season, as he averages 15.8 points and 5.3 assists per game. Loveridge has appeared in only five games, but is netting 12 ppg thank to his 11-of-20 effort from 3-point land, and Jakob Poeltl rounds out the double-digit scorers for Utah, which generates 76.1 ppg while permitting only 56.9 ppg -- the latter ranking the team among the best in the nation. The Utes are outshooting the opposition (.506 to .366), while also laying claim to a sizable +9.0 rebounding margin. ' ' '
