Mayo and Gibson are USC's best players and they're still on the bench after 6 minutes! This is unreal as Floyd is killing his team. They don't stand a chance without their two best players.
Finally! He sat them out 6.5 minutes. Hopefully he doesn't pull them out the rest of the game. Benching 36 PPG is tough. Mayo makes his first bucket as I type.
USC is hanging tough, but SIU plays such tenacious defense... it will be tough for USC to win this game, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
USC has their biggest lead of the game at half at 35-23... hopefully the Trojans keep playing well in the 2nd half. Trojans outscored SIU 29-13 with Mayo and Gibson palying.
I'm shocked the 2nd half line is 4.5 for SIU. I'm hoping USC pulls away for a nice win.
