The much anticipated debut of freshman sensation OJ Mayo of USC went according to plan Saturday afternoon…except for the part about USC winning the game.
Mayo scored 32 points in his first game in Trojan uniform, but the Mercer Bears from the Atlantic Sun conference upset USC 96-81. Trojan fans had better enjoy every single minute […]
