08:23 AM ET 11.17 | On Monday, USC's smallest player, 5-foot-7 freshman guard Maurice Jones scored a game-high 29 points in an 86-73 win against Santa Clara. Jones shot 10-for-20, on a variety of driving layups, some from impossible angles. He also had five assists, a few on no-look passes that made the crowd do double-takes at instant replays shown on the video board. "It looked like a high school rerun for me," said USC Coach Kevin O'Neill, who raved all preseason about his point guard's capabilities. "It's not a fluke that he makes these plays."

Sign of a dead thread when half the comments come from the spammers!

I'd say it's also a sign of mods that haven't had their coffee yet. Let's go, mods, get your cleanup started, please?

He is a secret weapon that is why u can't see him.

Saw the headline and I thought the secret weapon would be Reggie Bush. Disappointing.

Apparently they have a team.

This should be a Fox News Alert instead of a T&R.

Sandy this thread was so slow that I was gonna suggest we turn it into a Cam Newton SEC thread just to get some traffic.

But then Blaqk showed up and livened it up a bit.
