While his press clippings may be almost as big as Lebron's, I wasn't too impressed all year with the play of OJ Mayo. I'm still not sure what position he plays because he's not a true point guard or a two. When the Trojans won big it was because of the effort of Davon Jefferson as much as Mayo.
If I were Mayo, I'd stick around at least one more year to hone my game, but with the kind of money he might get as a late lottery pick there's not much chance of that. He could be surprised by his late pick in the draft because his success in the NBA, in my opinion, is still very much up in the air.
Ben Howland left Pitt and may be a top five coach in college basketball, but I love the job that Jamie Dixon has done at Pitt and believe that he is, and will remain, one of the top coaches in the college game.
I think it's time for Jim Boeheim to scrap his vaunted zone defense and teach the dapper dandies how to defend one-on-one. Syracuse has as much talent as you can have on a college team and it is amazing that they failed, again, to even reach the tournament.
Yes, the injuries to Rautins and Devendorf were catastrophic, but a great Hall of Fame coach should have been able to nurse the remaining stars to the tourney. Both Boeheim and Calhoun may be getting a little long in the tooth, as their teams have underachieved for two years now.
Keep your hat on folks. There are still two more weeks to go and the excitement is sure to be there.
