GameDay Open Thread USC vs. Seton Hall

Time to check…

where did this guy come from?

At least it seems like SC is finally starting to pull away. Nice to see Donte hitting those threes, Hackett piling up the assists, and Taj doing his thing on the inside (and by see I mean watch numbers in the box score). Come on though, Lewis and Hackett really need to ste up their shooting.

0-5.

But not the ones you would expect. Leonard Washington has 7 points, 5 rebounds, and a block while Donte Smith has 9 points on 3/4 shooting from beyond the arc. Demar Derozan only has 3 points and 3 boards to go with a block as well. Still, a nice showing for the group.

43-28 at the half. Hopefully the Trojans can open up this game and build some momentum for tomorrow night against Memphis.

6 seconds left and we trail by 1. Not good.

Wow the offense just died in the second half. It will be interesting to read what people around the net.

They played great in first half, then as in the last game with NMS they stopped working ball to Taj. The outside shooting is not coming along a lot of indecision when to shoot or pass, hope it will get better. Washington was all over the place on defense as was Simmons, and they played alright on offense.

Daniel is in some kind of funk, I think it’s the small guards that have him upset about not getting foul calls. Lewis has been inconsistent the last two games and DeRozan is not doing well with offensive style my have been a mistake. As soon as Marcus Johnson is playing it will help with outside offense.

If Tim would have put in Kasey and given Percy Miller a shot he would have bothered the small gauds on dee and there press. The impressive thing about Seton Hall is that their coach suspended to their top forwards, so they only had seven players but they didn’t stop trying.

They should have won this game going away, I hope they make adjustments. When they are playing good they look great, but when they fall off is a long way. Hubert Davis on espn gave mad props to this team about being more of a team than last year. HE also stated that he felt that SC was best team in Pac-10. So if they can find away to incorporate Demar and get shooting going they could do some damaged.
