GameDay Open Thread USC vs. Washington State

VS

Hopefully USC can get back on track tonight as they take on Washington St.

AO has the game preview here.

The fans are restless for the teams first win in the Pac-10. This will not be an easy game, as Wazzu comes in ranked #4 and are undefeated at 13-0 and really playing the hot hand.  

I know that this team relies a lot on Mayo but Taj and Hackett need to be a part of the game. O.J. needs to stop trying to put the world on his shoulders and pass the ball around. The team as a whole needs to stop the sloppy play and stop turning the ball over, if we can fix that SC has a better chance at winning these games. Lets hope they can get things back on track tonight.

FIGHT ON!

Taj gets a dunk on the last shot
of the half.

27-23 WSU SC needs to do a better job of defending the 3. Harmeling is killing them as he has 14 points already.

This team is not good.
it's like watching the Lakers last year.

"Hey, OJ, bail us out."

I really think that OJ Mayo coming to USC was the worst thing to happen to this team.  No one, I mean no one has developed.  Hackett has regressed, Gibson seems lost at times, Lewis is not a factor, except as a turnover machine.

No height, no ball movement, awful defense.

5-13 in the conference.

SC is playing hot and cold
guys out of position more turnovers. lots of fouls.

by Paragon SC on Jan 10, 2008 9:28 PM PST reply actions  

The WeAreSc folks
Are actually somewhat reasonable.

So are saying we probably might not go to the "dance."

Let me tell you, we aren't going to the NIT.

by Zoulou on Jan 10, 2008 9:29 PM PST reply actions  

19 fouls against USC
versus three or for against WSU.

At home

WTF!?

by Zoulou on Jan 10, 2008 9:34 PM PST reply actions  

there have been some questionable calls
but there has been some sloppy play leading to some of those fouls

by Paragon SC on Jan 10, 2008 9:37 PM PST up reply actions  

nice fast break
but we can't trade buckets baines is not having a good night for WSU

by Paragon SC on Jan 10, 2008 9:36 PM PST reply actions  

Airball
This team is garbage.

by Zoulou on Jan 10, 2008 9:41 PM PST reply actions  

he may not have a choice but to come back
Jefferson not going to class hurts us. if Floyd is going to punish him for it then cut him loose. christ he does us no good on the bench

by Paragon SC on Jan 10, 2008 9:46 PM PST up reply actions  

Davon isn't going to class
All Mayo cares about are his stats.

This team is garbage.

Hope you enjoyed your time in LA, OJ.

Have fun in Memphis are wherever the hell you end up.

OJ Mayo
You're plane is waiting.

Save a seat for Pink.

After the Mercer loss
I made a comment that a headlien we'll see alot is

"Mayo scores alot, Trojans lose."

I was being snarky, but, unfortunately, I was a bit prescient.

by Zoulou on Jan 10, 2008 10:25 PM PST reply actions  

And the sad thing is
People will say (and the nutcases on WeAreSC are already there) that Mayo isn't the problem because he scores a lot.  

But he doesn't create, he doesn't go to the line, he turns the ball over.  His defense is fine, man to man, but he really doesn't play help D at all.  

And because he is "behaving", everyone is forgetting his very considerable douchey-ness back in high school.  Five schools in two states in four years ... lots of other issues.

Granted, we have no inside presence, no bench, no real point guard.  But he did come here because he wanted to build a program.  We aren't going to NCAA's this year, and maybe not even to the NIT.  And he's gone after this year.  What kind of program building is that.
