Last night, in the comfort of my basement, I watched USC trounce Georgia Tech 76-57. Better yet, I watched it with my friend Jimmy, who is a Georgia Tech student. What a great way to spend a monday night. (By the way, Jimmy is an amateur actor. Check out his cameo appearance in this short film–he’s the screaming guy that always ends up dead: The Greatest British Novel Ever)
So back to the game, with a couple quick notes/observations.
- The game was originally supposed to be officiated by ACC officials. Georgia Tech screwed this one up, so USC scrambled to get some Pac-10 referees for the Trojans’ home game in the Galen Center. This probably didn’t impact the game much, but it’s an interesting fact.
- True Freshman Demar DeRozan had his second straight game scoring in the high double digits with 17 points, one shy of his career-high 18. As DeRozan continues to feel more comfortable in the college game, watch for USC to finally meet expectations.
