Memphis got the W, Memphis 62 USC 58 in OT… Derrick Rose didn’t play great but he managed a decent game and they pulled out the win.

OJ started off on fire, but struggled in the second half trying to take over the game at his coaches request. I don’t think there will be any sort of Magic/Larry type of thing here, because these two play different positions in the league. OJ will be considered for the point but will end up being a 2 because he is a guy that will want to go for the mid-twenties ppg, Derrick will run point.

Tonight at MSG, OJ Mayo and the USC Trojans take on Derrick Rose and the No.2 ranked Memphis Tigers in the Jimmy V Classic. This game is going to be goooood! If it is anything like the much talked about AAU game of a few years ago, this is definitely one to put on the Tivo. I am sure you all know who OJ Mayo is but probably not Derrick Rose, here is a nice little youtube clip for all the nons.

His game is ready too! He is currently is second on his team in scoring at 17ppg, first in assist at just over 4, and he also is grabbing 5 boards from the point guard spot. OJ is dropping 21 a game basically staying on the perimeter trying not to roll an ankle. I can’t be too mad at him though, he has about half a billi on the line. No need to mess around and eff up the rest of your life by getting hurt playing with some college boys. Here is a nice article about all the man child playing with boys and being the next big thing
