USC aims for sixth straight win

Nov 29, 2007 - 2:20 PM Oklahoma (5-1) at No. 24 USC (5-1) 11:00 pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - No. 24 Southern California looks to cement its place in the national rankings when it faces Oklahoma on Thursday.

After a season-opening loss to Mercer, USC has responded with five straight wins - including a dominating 70-45 victory over then-No. 18 Southern Illinois on Sunday in the final of the inaugural Anaheim Classic.

O.J. Mayo scored just 13 points during the victory after coach Tim Floyd decided not to start his talented freshman for the first time this season. Instead, another sensational freshman, Davon Jefferson, led the Trojans with 20 points and five rebounds.

Mayo was still named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player and has lived up to the hype this season, leading USC with 21.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

USC cannot look past a strong Oklahoma team which suffered its only loss this season against No. 3 Memphis on November 15.

The Sooners have won back-to-back games since the setback with the last a 74-42 triumph over Morehead State on November 21.
