Taj? What Taj?

How is it that USC center Taj Gibson can go 10-for-10 on Friday and be 0-for-2 so far on Sunday against Michigan State in the second round of the NCAA tournament? How can he have more fouls (three) than shots taken? Why does he just go away for games at a time? Is it his fault? Coach Tim Floyd’s fault? Is it all Michigan State’s fault? I have no answers. Does anybody?

But then that sounds like the Trojans are out of the game when, in fact, they are only behind 40-37. So maybe Gibson is just saving himself.

Luckily, I’m not disappointed anymore about not seeing the Marquette game. I had it on the live stream for awhile but my computer was getting hotter and hotter as Marquette got colder and colder and it doesn’t seem worthwhile to watch my Golden Eagles get pummeled by Missouri.
