Seton Hall 63, USC 61

Wow. What did I say was the only way USC could lose to Seton Hall? If they looked ahead to Memphis. Well, I think it's safe to say there was some looking ahead when the Trojans were up by 15 points at halftime. They played as badly as you possibly could in the second half. They couldn't score, play defense, or hold onto the basketball. The Trojans won't win many games when Daniel Hackett goes 0-7, Dwight Lewis goes 4-13, and DeMar DeRozan goes 1-4. On the bright side, Taj Gibson had another monster game with 19 points and 18 boards. The thing that hurts the most about this loss is that the Trojans don't get a shot to play Memphis today. That could really hurt the Trojans strength of schedule at the end of the season, and makes the Oklahoma game in a couple weeks even more important because the Sooners are the only quality team left on the non-conference schedule. Other than Taj's play, the only other good thing about yesterday was that UCLA lost to Michigan. The Trojans must win their final two games of this Puerto Rico tournament: today against Chattanooga and Sunday most likely against Missouri. Gotta bounce back.
