What a weekend! If you picked most of the top seeds for your March madness brackets you are probably doing very well. The next round of the tournament starts on Thursday, but the most important story in the upcoming weeks is whether or not Daniel Hackett, DeMar DeRozan and Taj Gibson will return for another year. Here are the players answers to that question after the tough loss to Michigan State.
Taj Gibson:
"I don't know. Right now I just want to be around my teammates. It's still up in the air."
Daniel Hackett:
"I haven't started to think about that. I'm very disappointed about this game. I'm very emotional."
DeMar DeRozan:
DeRozan said will meet with his family and Coach Floyd and “just look at everything."
If the players do enter the draft, experts speculate that DeRozan could be a mid to high first rounder, Gibson a late first rounder or early second rounder and Hackett sometime in the second round.

Tonight the Trojans (18-12, 9-9) face the California Golden Bears (22-9, 11-7) at the Staples Center at 6 p.m. in the Pacific Life Pac-10 tournament. The Bears 43.8% three-point field goal percentage currently ranks first in the nation.
USC and Cal split their two previous games this year with each team winning on their own home court. The winner of this game plays the winner of UCLA vs. Washington St. on Friday. The Trojans will need a strong showing in the tournament if they hope to make March Madness.

I asked three members of the USC basketball program what it will take for them to win three games in three days at the Pac-10 Tournament — probably the only route to the NCAA Tournament for the barely-on-the-bubble Trojans. Taj Gibson’s response was far and away the best: “Maturity, heart and courage.” It was such a “Wizard of Oz”...
