Thanksgiving Three Pointers

This day couldn't have been timed any better for Trojan fans.

3:00 P.M.        Thanksgiving dinner
5:00 P.M.        USC football vs. ASU (ESPN)
8:30 P.M.        Pie
9:00 P.M.        USC hoops vs. San Diego (ESPN 2)

If you haven't read up on the Anaheim Classic:

• Ben Bolch reports Floyd isn't looking ahead.
• Robyn Norwood salutes the Salukis.
• Rival's Ted Venegas previews the Toreros.

How about some media love for USC's hoops stars:

• The Sporting News named Daniel Hackett their National Player of the Week for November 12-18.
• ESPN's Chad Ford thinks O.J. Mayo figures to be a top-3 pick in next year's NBA draft.
• Mayo is also the lead story on SI.com this Thanksgiving morning.

In other news:

• If last year's Bill Plaschke column on Jim Sterkel Court tugged at your heart strings, wait until you see what he has to say about Ricky Rosas. It's a must-read. Ricky is the smallest guy you could never miss.
• Eric Neel's been around Heritage Hall (and the Coliseum, and away games) all season working on this Pete Carroll feature for ESPN. It's quite a Tribute to Troy Carroll.
• Is Mark Wahlberg the next celebrity to join the USC fold? The basketball team partnered up with his foundation last night for a good cause.
