Watched them beat Southern Cal in overtime tonight. Outside of Tre Kelley, that's a very average basketball team. They won't sniff .500 in SEC play.

On a side note about Southern Cal, what do you make of the situation with OJ Mayo? Kind of strange to see SC just come right out and say "We're only expecting him for a year, that's all." Kind of an unusual stance to see any athletics department take.

Tim Floyd is an exceptionally blunt guy. He didn't see any reason to shade the truth. The fact is, the only way Mayo sees a second season at SC is if he has a terrible freshman year.

Well. Maybe it will work. A lot of people are making 'Melo-'Cuse comparisons.

Tim is putting together a nice team. They're painfully young right now. The untimely death of Ryan Francis, coupled with Gabe Pruitt's ineligibility, has left a gaping hole at PG right now. Don't think I'd pencil them into next year's Final Four just yet.

Mayo's possible youth might also factor in... Although I'd consider a Pac-10 season tough enough to prep him for a tourney run. Whoever can win six games.

So you're saying USC's dream of back-to-back-to-back post season NIT titles is very much alive again this season?

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them miss the postseason all together.

That's sort of the feeling I am getting out of the people I know in Columbia after seeing them lose a game right after they struggled to hang on against South Carolina State.

They got the benefit of playing a USC team with two freshmen manning the point guard slot. If those two teams play again in a month, the Trojans beat them handily.

Thank you very little. (The truth hurts).

Man, don't you know that the Bulldogs are a perennial MEAC power?

That's what happens when you lose incredible first round talent like Renaldo Balkman.

Don't forget Tarence Kinsey, either. He made the final cut with the Grizzlies. I thought he was an NBA-Europe kind of player, but he must have done well for them.

Unfortunately, it looks like most Gamecock fans will be looking forward to baseball season.........PING!
