OJ Mayo And Other Notes.

- Listening to people talk about USC's "youth" yesterday was hilarious. Sure their two best players are a freshman and sophomore but OJ Mayo is a 21 year old frosh and Taj Lewis is a 22 year old sophomore. Hardly youth. Where did they think they were enrolling? BYU?

- I have always said OJ Mayo makes me sick. From the day he called Tim Floyd and announced he was going to USC you knew this guy was a potential dick. There is no question he can play but you have to wonder how good he really is? He came in with a lot of hype but I think that's because he was a 20 year old high school senior last year and physically stronger than anyone who had to guard him.

Watching him last night proved he is an average pro at best. He does not shoot consistently enough to be a good 2 guard and he doesn't handle the ball well enough to be a point. And the next time he shows any interested or ability defensively will be the first. He should stay in school another year.

- You knew USC would lose a game that is tight at halfway through the 2nd half because he is just a terrible coach. Same thing goes for Rick Barnes at Texas. No matter how much talent Texas has Barnes will eventually fuck up a close game in this tournament.

- Duke looked terrible yesterday and may not get by West Virginia. If they do there is no way they are getting by Xavier, which I called anyway.

- Good thing I fell hard for Drake and had them in the Sweet 16. Actually I am not rippin' on them. Anytime you lose at the buzzer in OT you played a good game.
