    RISING TIDEColumnist Steve Ramirez: Alabama a deserving champion.STORY B2

    By David Ginsburg The Associated Press

    BALTIMORE The Baltimore Ravens didntjust earn another home win. They stole it fromthe Houston Texans.

    Ed Reed sealed a 20-13 victory Sunday withBaltimores fourth takeaway, and when hefinally limped off the field the Ravens wereassured their second trip to the AFC champion-ship game in four seasons.

    Baltimore (13-4) will visit Tom Brady and theNew England Patriots next Sunday, with the

    winner moving on to the Super Bowl.We know we have a big test next week,

    By Chris JenkinsThe Associated Press

    GREEN BAY, Wis. For EliManning and the New YorkGiants, Lambeau Field has

    become a familiar launchingpad. After beating the GreenBay Packers at home for thesecond time in four years, theyonly hope this trip ends thesame way: at the Super Bowl.

    Manning threw three touch-down passes and the Giantsrouted the Packers, 37-20, inan NFCdivisional playoff gameSunday.

    Manning threw for 330 yards in sending the Giants toSan Francisco for the NFCchampionship game next Sun-day.

    The Packers might havebeen the reigning Super Bowlchamps, but the Giants might

    be the hottest team in the NFL.I think were a dangerous

    team, Giants coach TomCoughlin said. I like where weare and how were playing.

    TheGiantsstunned the Pack-ers with a touchdown off along throw from Manning toHakeem Nicks just before half-time, then knocked them out

    with a late touchdown off aturnover.

    The win came four yearsafter the Giants beat a BrettFavre-led Packers team in theNFC title game. It wasntnearly as frigid Sunday, andthe Packers vulnerable

    defense appeared to be waitingto get sliced up.

    Manning found six receiversagainst a porous Packersdefense. But he did the mostdamage with his throws to

    BASKETBALL: UCLA point guard

    Jones stirs rivalry against USC

    with late gesture. Trojans get

    worn out by Wear twins.

    By Jon Gold Staff Writer

    LOS ANGELES Lazeric Jones insisted hewas just trying to show some love to his family.

    He maintained the kiss he blew to the GalenCenter crowd after his second consecutive bas-ket late in the first half of the Bruins 66-47 winover USC on Sunday night was all love. No hate.

    The glint in his eyes said something different,and the sneaky smile that crept onto his faceconfirmed it.

    I feel like Im part of the rivalry now, saidJones, who finished with 15 points on 6-of-11shooting. Every time we scored I got reallyexcited. Thats how its going to be. Thats howits always going to be.

    I was watching games a week ago, previousgames (in the rivalry), and they were chippythen. Who am I to break the rivalry?

    If Jones provided the flash in the Bruinsblowout win, the Wear twins provided the dirt.

    Sophomore forward Travis Wear had 19points on 7-of-12 shooting and brother David

    Wear added 13 points and seven rebounds in 19minutes while battling foul trouble.

    Even with center Joshua Smith limited to justsix points and five rebounds in 14 minutes, theBruins had 30 points in the lane and 12 sec-ond-chancepoints andmade up for 14 turnovers.

    EDMONTON, Alberta TaylorHall scored at 3:06 of overtime to lift

    dmonton to a 2-1 victory over theKings on Sunday that snapped theOilers five game losing streak.

    Hall scored his 15th goal of theseason on a power play after a back-hand pass from Shawn Horcoff.

    Justin Williams scored for theKings, who were 2-0-1 in their threeprevious games to move three pointsbehind San Jose for first place in thePacific Division.

    Edmonton started the scoring justpast the midway point of the firstperiod as Jeff Petrys blast from thepoint as a penalty expired was tippedby Green past Kings goalie JonathanQuick. It was Greens first goal sincehe scored one against Montreal onJan. 16, 2007.

    The Oilers came close to making it2-0 a few minutes later when Hall hadan open net to shoot at but hecouldnt lift a backhander after beingknocked down to the ice.

    Edmonton outshot the Kings 12-6in the first period, and kept the pres-sure coming. The Oilers were robbed

    of a goal seven minutes into the sec-ond when Quick made a stop onGreens shotand then came across thecrease to make a tremendous glovesave to take a goal away from RyanJones.

    Quick did it again with five minutesleft in the second period as he cameacross to stop Sam Gagner with a padsave after a nice bit of tic-tac-toe pass-ing by the Oilers top unit.

    The Kings tied the game six min-utes into the third period when Will-iams tipped Slava Voynovs point shotpast Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk.

    nze Kopitar picked up his 400thcareer NHL point on the play.

    Nicks, who caught seven passes for

    165 yards and two touchdowns.Nicks biggest play was a 66-yard

    touchdown catch in the first quar-ter. His score at the end of the halfcame on a 37-yard pass into the endzone with defenders all around him.

    It was a big momentum play forthem, but we were not deflated as afootball team, Packers coach MikeMcCarthy said.

    The Giants defense also defusedthe big-play abilities of Aaron Rodg-ers and the Packers offense.

    Rodgers was 26 of 46 for 264yards, with two touchdowns and aninterception. He also was the Pack-ers leading rusher with 66 yards onseven carries.

    Green Bay lost three fumbles,including one on a rare giveaway by

    Rodgers. The Giants also sackedRodgers four times.With the Packers trailing 20-10 at

    halftime but finally beginning tolook like themselves on offense tostart the second half, Osi Ume-nyiora swatted the ball away fromRodgers and Deon Grant recoveredthe fumble at the Green Bay 37.

    But the mistake didnt cost thePackers points, and Green Bay cutthe lead to seven points on a35-yard field goal by Mason Crosbylate in the third quarter.

    The Packers put together another

    drive early in the fourth quarter,but Michael Boley and Umenyioracombined to sack Rodgers onfourth-and-5 in Giants territory.

    After carving up the Packers inthe first half, the Giants offense hita lull in the second half. But they

    broke out of it to drive for a 35-yardfield goal by Lawrence Tynes to takea 23-13 lead with 7:48 left to play.

    Packers running back Ryan Grantthen fumbled after catching a passand the Giantsrecovered before tak-ing the ball back deep into Green

    Bay territory.Manning then threw a 4-yard

    touchdown pass to Mario Manning-ham and the Giants took a 30-13lead. Rodgers rallied the Packers fora 16-yard touchdown pass toDonald Driver that cut the deficit to30-20 with 4:46 left.

    The Packers then tried an onsidekick, but the Giants Victor Cruzrecovered.

    New Yorks Brandon Jacobsscored on a 14-yard run with 2:36left to put the game away.

    GIANTSFrom B1

    The Bowl ChampionshipSeries was created prior tothe 1998 season to answer

    the question of who is No. 1 incollege football.

    Instead, some 14 years later,its created more questions thananswers. This year, which cli-maxed with Alabamas shutout ofprevious No. 1 Louisiana State inthe BCS title game last Monday,

    was no different.

    A day after the Crimson Tidesecured the first shutout in BCStitle game history to win thenational championship, there

    were complaints over whether ornot Alabama deserved the No. 1ranking it received from thecoaches and writers polls.

    Well, it did.

    Its clear from this view thatBama, with four victories overteams ranked in the top 25, twoof which were rated in the top10, is deserving of No. 1.

    For me, I always take a back-wards approach of rating teams,using the barometer of not who

    you beat, but if youve lost, whoyou lost to. A bad loss trumps agood win. And under that crite-ria, Bamas resume is just betterthan any of the other challeng-ers, which include LSU, who they

    just beat; one-loss OklahomaState; and Stanford and Oregon,

    who have two losses each.

    The Tides only loss was tothen-No. 1 LSU, by three points,

    in overtime. Yes, LSU beat Ala- bama by three points during theregular season, but the Tigerslooked dismal in losing by 21 inthe championship game.

    Oklahoma State has no case. Yes, the Cowboys have a solidresume with wins over top 25teams. But they lost to unrankedIowa State. IOWA STATE!

    Its also not like the Cowboyswere impressive in their FiestaBowl victory over Stanford, out-lasting the Cardinal only becauseStanford missed a game-winningfield goal at the end of regula-tion.

    Stanford need not apply afterfirst losing to Oregon at homethen blowing the Fiesta Bowlagainst Oklahoma State. If any-one deserves to get bumped up,

    you could make an argument forOregon, which beat Wisconsin inthe highest-scoring Rose BowlGame. But two losses is one toomany to receive consideration.

    So once again we end a season with controversy, which if you believe recent reports, might be

    the straw that broke the camels back in reference to a possible

    playoff system. BCS officials arealready discussing it.

    I actually like the plus-onesystem, but I like it by incorporat-ing the old system, picking the

    best two teams after the BCS bowls are complete. Three yearsago, that would have given us14-0 Alabama vs. 14-0 BoiseState. Last year, it would have

    been Auburn vs. Texas Christian,and this year, possibly Alabama

    vs. Oklahoma State, although itshard to say, because it dependshow the BCS bowls, outside theRose Bowl, line up.

    But it would seem in most years to work, since usually thereare just two undefeated teams

    left after the bowls, or at worst,one undefeated team and oneone-loss team.

    But enough about this yearand talk about revamping thesystem. Lets take a peek at nextseason, which again will featurethe current BCS format:

    From this view, LSU and USCare the early frontrunners tomeet in next seasons BCS titlegame, which will be in Miami.

    LSU, which is expected to begin the season ranked No. 1,returns most of the cogs thatkeyed this seasons run to theBCS title game, including theHoney Badger, Heisman Trophyfinalist Tyrann Mathieu.

    The Tigers are expected to be

    just as strong defensively andshould be better on offense.

    USC, which is now free fromprobation jail, should possess oneof the better offenses, with thereturn of quarterback Matt Bark-ley and receivers Robert Woodsand Marquis Lee. The Trojansalso feature one of the moreathletic defenses in the country.

    The rest of my early top fiveare Alabama, which despite los-ing a bit on defense is stillexpected to be loaded; Oregon,

    which should challenge USC inthe Pac-12 with running backsKenyon Barner and DeAnthonyThomas returning; and Okla-homa, which is still scary withLandry Jones at quarterback.

    It should be noted that LSU

    didnt begin the season as afavorite to advance to NewOrleans, and 2010 finalist

    Auburn and Oregon began theseason outside the top 10.

    But if USC is in the nationaltitle game, who plays in the RoseBowl? Thats a discussion fornext August. Have a good off-season.

    Projection recapIt was a so-so bowl season

    from a projection standpoint.Of the 35 games, I picked 20

    winners, going 3-2 in BCS games,correctly projecting Oregons winover Wisconsin in the Rose Bowland Alabamas victory over LSUin the BCS title game.

    to whoever was coming up there.So, weve got our hands full.

    The Patriots lead the series 6-1, but Baltimores lone win came inthe postseason.

    The Ravens, playing their firsthome playoff game since 2006,forced two turnovers in the firstquarter for a 17-3 lead thanks totouchdown passes by Joe Flacco,and interceptions by Lardarius

    Webb and Reed in the fourth quar-ter helped the advantage stand up.

    We knew what was coming,Lewis said. This young team, theyare so freakin fiery. Theyve got so

    many great pieces over there. I justtake my hat off to them, just simplyfor the way they came out andfought today.

    More importantly, I take my hatoff to my team as well, because wecame out and we knew it was goingto be tough. We made some plays,they made some plays and at theend of the game we made the playsthat counted.

    One week earlier, in the first play-

    off game in Texans history, Houston(11-7) didnt commit a turnover in a31-10 home rout of Cincinnati.

    Against Baltimore, the Texanscouldnt hold onto the ball and fell

    behind by two touchdowns. Arian Foster ran for 132 yards

    and was the first player to rush for100 yards in the playoffs against theRavens. But rookie quarterback T.J.

    Yates threw three interceptions.Houston, down 17-13 at halftime,

    twice held the Ravens without afirst down in the third quarter

    before driving to the Baltimore 32.From there, Neil Rackers 50-yardfield goal try hit the crossbar anddropped into the end zone.

    Baltimore then launched a drive

    in which seldom-used Lee Evansmade a sensational one-handedc atch for a 30-yar d gai n o nthird-and-5 from the Houston 39.On fourth-and-goal inside the 1, RayRice was stopped for no gain.

    The Texans couldnt move theball, and the Ravens took the ensu-ing punt at the Houston 49. Butthree plays netted only 4 yards, andSam Koch punted for the seventhtime.

    Minutes later, the Ravens puntedfor the fourth time in five sec-ond-half possessions. Fortunatelyfor Baltimore, the defense compen-sated for the teams inability to addto its early lead.

    Webbs second interception came with 7 1/2 minutes left and theRavens clinging to 17-13 advantage.Baltimoremoved 45yards for a fieldgoal by Billy Cundiff with 2:52 left.

    Reed ended the Texans subse-quent drive with his eighth careerplayoff interception inside the5-yard line.

    When we got up 17-3, the No. 1thing I told them is: Theyre goingto make a rally. Every great teammakes a rally, Lewis said. And

    this is what playoff football is allabout. I mean, year after year andtime after time, great competitiongoing against each other, it reallydoes get no better.

    Houstons Danieal Manning muf-fled the record crowd of 71,547 bytaking the opening kickoff 60 yardsto the Baltimore 41.

    Yates then completed two passes,and after the Ravens stuffed Fosteron a third-and-1, Rackers kicked a40-yard field goal.

    HONOLULU JohnsonWagner worked so hard in theoffseason he told friends he

    was going to win early in theyear, and he hardly wasted anytime.

    Wagner played bogey-free

    over the last 12 holes, a win-ning recipe on a tough day at

    Waialae, and closed with a3-under 67 to pull away from ahalf-dozen contenders and winthe Sony Open on Sunday.

    Wagner was among six play-ers who had a share of the leadat some point in the finalround. He was the only guy tostay there and wound up witha two-shot win over Carl Pet-tersson, Sean OHair, HarrisonFrazar and Charles Howell III.

    Coming into the year, Wag-ner only had seven top 10s in139 starts on tour, includingtwo wins. He opened the yearat Kapalua with a tie for ninth,and then ra llied from a two-shot deficit to win theSony Open.

    Frazar had the outright leadbriefly after a birdie at No. 10,then made pars the rest of the

    way for a 67. Pettersson over-came a double bogey on thesecond hole and finished withfour birdies on the last sixholes, also for a 67.

    My first top 10 as an Ameri-can, said Pettersson, theSwede who became an Ameri-can citizen in the offseason.

    OHair had a 30-foot eagle

    putt on the 18th hole that justmissed. He had to settle for a67 while Howell birdied his lasthole for 69 to join the grouptied for second.

    Jeff Maggert and MattEvery, tied for the lead goinginto the last day, both col-

    lapsed early. Every was 4 overthrough six holes and ralliedfor a 72. Maggert missed sev-eral short putts and shot 74.

    Considering all the attentionEvery received this week hiscomments about his marijuanapossession arrest two years ago he said Saturday, Im justready to get it over with.

    Wagner was the only playerwho kept it going.

    He started the back nine bydriving safely into a front left

    bunker and holing a 10-footerfor birdie to take the outrighlead, and he never gave it back.No one else made enough bird-ies, and Wagner didnt makeany mistakes.

    Pau Gasols T-shirt read:Eat your enemy.

    He smiled then laughedhen a reporter pointed at theords. A message for tonights

    pponent, the Dallas Maver-cks, perhaps?

    Personally, its a game Iant to play well and I want y team to win, Gasol saidfter the Lakers held a lightorkout and a video session

    unday. Its a different team,different year and a different

    cenario, too.

    Last spring, the Mavericksnocked out the Lakers in atunning four-game sweep inhe second round of the play-ffs en route to their first NBAhampionship. Gasol did notlay well, but then again none could touch Dallas Dirkowitzki in the playoffs.Both rosters have been

    evamped since May, with theakers trading Lamar Odom

    o the Mavericks for a irst-round draft pick and an8.9 million trade exception.he Mavericks traded Tysonhandler and did not re-sign.J. Barea.

    Ifit merelywasa rematch of

    their playoff series, then it would be one of the mostintriguing games to start theseason, but when you addOdoms return to Staples Cen-ter it could be one of the mostemotional games of all of2011-12.

    Odom played for the Lakersfor seven seasons and helpedthem win championships in2009 and 10. He was as valu-able on the court as off it, akind-hearted soul who wascontent to play a supportingrole and play it well in the lastfew seasons.

    When the Lakers tried and

    failed to trade Gasol and

    Odom to acquire Chris Paulfromthe New Orleans Hornetslast month, Odom demandedgeneral manager MitchKupchak to deal him.Kupchak hesitated at first, butthen granted his wish.

    Themoveweakenedthe Lak-ers bench, and Odom hasntexactly thrived in Dallas. He isaveraging career lows of 6.6points and 4.8 rebounds in19.8 minutes, down from the14.4 points and 8.7 reboundshe averaged in 32.2 minuteslast season.

    Odom was the NBAs SixthMan of the Year in 2010-11.

    He told reporters for SportsIllustrated and ESPN.com last

    week he considered takingthis season off after the mur-derof hiscousin and the deathof a pedestrian in an accident

    with an SUV in which Odom was riding last July.

    Real close, he said whenasked about taking a sabbati-cal.

    Brown still upsetCoach Mike Brown said he

    wanted the NBA to take acloser look at Blake Griffinspost-whistle shove to Darius

    Morris while the rookie guardwas in midair late in the firstquarter of the Lakers 102-94loss Saturday to the Clippers.

    Chris Paul fouled Morris ananosecond earlier, but Mor-ris continued to the basketand dunked as Griffin shovedhim. Brown went into a rageon the sideline and had to berestrained by his assistantcoaches and drew a technicalfoul.

    Whetherthe shovewas bla-tant and, boom, or was just alittle shove, when a guy is inthe air thats a dangerousplay, Brown said.

    COLUMBUS, Ohio Len-zelle Smith Jr. more than dou-bled his career high with 28points on Sunday to lead No. 5Ohio State to a surprisinglyeasy 80-63 victory over sev-enth-ranked Indiana.

    Jared Sullinger added 16points, William Buford scored12 and Deshaun Thomas had 11for the Buckeyes (16-3, 4-2 Big

    en), who were coming off aloss at Illinois on Tuesday. Sev-eral players questioned theirteammates commitment andeffort after that game.

    Cody Zeller had 16 points,Christian Watford 13 and Jor-dan Hulls 11 for the Hoosiers(15-3, 3-3), who had lost athome to unranked Minnesotaon Wednesday.

    Smith, who came in scoringabout five points per game, hit10 of 12 shots from the field

    including 4 of 5 3-pointers. Healso had seven rebounds, anassist and a steal.

    No. 8 Duke 73, Clemson 66: AndreDawkins scored 24 points and made five

    -pointers as the Blue Devils (15-2, 3-0Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame asluggish start to pull away from theTigers (9-8, 1-2), even though scoringleader Austin Rivers finished with just 4points.

    Duke beat Clemson for the 26th timein the last 28 meetings.

    No. 11 Georgetown 69, St. Johns49: Hollis Thompson scored all of his 20points in the second half and the Hoyassnapped a two-game losing streak.

    Jesse Clark had 15 points and fresh-man Otto Porter added 13 points and 10rebounds for Georgetown (14-3, 4-2 BigEast), which lost to West Virginia andCincinnati after an 11-game win streak.

    Freshman Moe Harkless had 21 pointsand 10 rebounds for St. Johns (8-9, 2-4).

    No. 23 Creighton 90, Southern Illi-nois 71: Doug McDermott scored 25points and went over 1,000 for his careerto help the Bluejays (16-2, 6-1) win theirsixth consecutive game since openingMissouri Valley Conference play with ahome loss to Missouri State.

    The Salukis (6-12, 3-4) lost to Creigh-ton for the eighth time in a row.

    Antoine Young added 14 points andsix assists and Gregory Echenique had 11rebounds and nine points.

    McDermott also had 11 rebounds andrecorded his sixth double-double of theseason.

    T.J. Lindsay had 13 points, Jeff Early 11and Mamadou Seck 10 for the Salukis.

    If you think ONeillshould be gone after theseason, youre looking at justthis season which isdreadful, to be sure andnot seeing the big picture.

    When looking at USC, youmust look at probation andsanctions and judge the full

    book, not just the ugly coverof this season, during whichthe effects of probation arerearing their ugly head.

    USC is 5-13 overall and0-5 in its inaugural Pac-12Conference season. TheTrojans cant sink a basket

    from seemingly anywhere onthe court.

    But they shouldnt sinktheir coach because of it.

    Were disappointed, andwe feel badly for the kids,Haden said. Theyve playedhard, and (have) greatdefense. Theyve struggledoffensively and havent shota great free-throwpercentage, but I plan to bepatient with the team andthe coach.

    Patience is a good idea.ONeill was patient withUSC. He accepted the job in2009 when no one else

    wanted it. He weathered theprobation storm that

    included sanctions withrecruiting stemming fromthe O.J. Mayo scandal.

    Derrick Williams, nowplaying in the NBA withMinnesota, transferred to

    Arizona. Noel Johnson, whocommitted to USC,transferred to Clemson andnow is at Auburn. SolomonHill and Lamont Jones weresupposed to go to USC, too,and avoided the cloud ofprobation.

    Thats a star-studdedrecruiting class. USC stillmade it to the NCAATournament last year, butlost Jio Fontan (torn kneeligament) to a preseasoninjury in Brazil and Nikola

    Vucevic for the NBA.

    And USC now is left withthis mess.

    Lets not forget ONeillguided a turbulent ship in2010, his first season, whenprobation hit the program.

    I look at this as Kevinssecond year, Haden said.The first year, he inheriteda mess. Last year, we playedsix players. This year, wehave a little bit more depth.

    A lot of guys are freshmen,however I dont considerthem freshmen anymore. Wecontinue to play fantasticdefense, but weve got to get

    more shots to fall. I dontknow how to do that.

    Haden cant do it. ONeill

    cant do it. But you can bepatient through all themisses.

    Dont expect mediocrity,but realize this is a productof the past few seasons,something that started whenTim Floyd was coach andMike Garrett was athleticdirector.

    Patience is key whentrudging through this seasonof disappointment. ONeilldeserves to be given anotherchance to see what WakeForest transfers J.T. Terrelland Ari Stewart can do,along with Eric Wise, a UCIrvine transfer.

    Three or four players whoarent playing this yearcould be starting next year.

    Kevin deserves it, Hadensaid of time to turn USCsflop of a season into

    winning ways again.

    I think hes a good coachand a good man. He does alot of things that areimportant for this universityother than just basketball.

    The kids are good kids,good-character kids and hegraduated 100 percent of hisseniors last year. Thosethings at a university meana lot. At the end of the day,Kevin knows and I knowand everyone knows that

    weve got to get the programrocking.

    It hit rock bottom onSunday. UCLAout-rebounded USC, 44-19.Its a statistic that really willeat at ONeill. The25-rebound differential ties aBen Howland-coached UCLAteam high. And the 19-pointloss at home in this rivalryseries was the worst for USCsince it lost to UCLA 98-80in 1999.

    Even though patienceshould be preached, itstough to accept theserecords.

    Guard Alexis Moore saidthe Trojans embarrassed

    themselves.I think honestly we

    embarrassed ourselves anddid a disservice to theuniversity with the effort wegave, Moore said.

    USC might be workinghard, but its not showingon the floor.

    I cant tell them howmuch I appreciate their hard

    work, ONeill said later.Its not a great situation forus right now.

    Its not right now, butUSC doesnt need to hit thepanic button where ONeillis concerned.

    Haden is giving ONeillmuch-deserved patience. Itsthe right move.

    USCs Maurice Jones comes up with a rebound between UCLAs Anthony Stover andJerime Anderson during Sundays game at Galen Center.

    COLLEGETOP 25 ROUNDUP

    Howland said. Were gettingbetter at getting the reads andthe second and third options

    off of our sets. Were still notexecuting as well as wed like,

    but were moving definitely inthe right direction.

    Thats huge for us.So was Anthony Stover.The Bruins backup center

    had three blocks and threerebounds but altered severalshots and was an active pres-ence in man-to-man defense,

    which the team has reliedheavily on during itsthree-game winning streak thatfollowed back-to-back losses toStanford and Cal to openPac-12 play.

    Stovers minutes in the firsthalf, where he was changingshots, blocking shots defen-sively was a huge boost, How-land said. Stover has reallyplayed well for us. He played

    very well for us against Arizonaand had key minutes for usagainst ASU.

    A year after USCs interiorduo of Nikola Vucevic and AlexStephenson dominated UCLA

    with a combined 33 points and20 rebounds in a 63-52 victory,their absence was striking asthe Bruins out-rebounded theTrojans 44-19.

    Last seasons game endedwith Smith making an obscenegesture to the crowd and criti-cizing the referees in hispost-game interview, actionsthat led to a reprimand fromthe Pac-10.

    This year ended a bit differ-ent.

    It felt great, Smith said.Zeek and (senior guard Jerime

    Anderson) reminded the teambefore we went out about whathappened last year. We have alot of new guys on the team the twins werent playing withus last year, Norman Powell

    wasnt with us yet and we

    came out and said, Its usagainst the world out here;they embarrassed us last year,now lets go put it on them.

    Added USC guard AlexisMoore: We embarrassed our-

    selves. We did a disservice inour effort.

    Give UCLA credit. Theyplayed a great game, we didntmatch their effort.

    Theteamssputtered to a hor-rendous start and were tied 9-9

    with less than 10 minutes leftin the first half. UCLA, how-ever, took off from there with a14-1 run over the next six min-utes. By the time Jones puck-ered up for the crowd, the Bru-ins were leading 35-16 and wellon their way to their biggest

    win at USC since 1999.Iwas just giving myfamily a

    little love, Jones said. My par-ents have been on me aboutshowing love to them when Imon TV, so thats all I was doing.It was all love.

    Theres that smile again.

    By John PyeThe Associated Press

    MELBOURNE, Australia hird-seeded Victoria Azarenka

    won 12 straight games to finishoff Heather Watson 6-1, 6-0 in67minutestodayin theopeningmatch on center court at the

    ustralian Open.

    Azarenka, one of six womenwho can finish atop the rank-ings depending on results atMelbourne Park, is coming off awin at the Sydney Internationallast week.

    Well, the score is easy. Toactually play the match, itsnever easy, especially for mecoming here only Saturday,

    zarenka said, adding she wasunsettled because she had toget to Melbourne Park so earlythere was nowhere open to buyher morning coffee.

    First time I actually hit oncenter court was today in themorning.

    The Sydney champion hasgone on to reach the AustralianOpen final six times since 1997,

    winning twice. Li Na won inSydney last year but lost the

    Australian Open final to KimClijsters. Li and Clijsters werein action later today.

    Azarenka beat Li in the Syd-ney final Friday night and isstarting to gain a following inMelbournes Chinese commu-nity.

    After beating Li Na, a lot ofChinesepeople startedrecogniz-ing me, the 22-year-old fromBelarus said about her experi-ence at a Chinese restaurant.Thats a plus.

    Shell get more local atten-tion in coming days, with a sec-

    ond-round match against Aus-tralian wild-card entry CaseyDellacqua, a 6-3, 6-2 winnerover Serbias Bojana Jovanovski.

    Eighth-ranked AgnieszkaRadwanska can take the topranking by winning the Austra-lian title. She had a battle onher hands just to make the sec-ond round, fending off Ameri-can Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-7(10), 6-4, 6-2 in a three-hourmatch on Show Court 2. Mat-tek-Sands hit astunning 81 win-ners but had 65 unforcederrors.

    In other womens results,26th-seeded Anabel Medina ofSpain beat Eva Birnerova ofCzech Republic 6-3, 6-3 andEleni Daniilidou of Greece beat41-year-old KimikoDate-Krumm of Japan 6-3, 6-2.

    No. 30 Kevin Anderson of

    South Africa was the first maninto the second round, beatingDenmarks Frederik Nielsen 6-1,6-2, 6-4, while 2009 U.S. Openchampion Juan Martin delPotro dropped the first set toFrances Adrian Mannarino

    before advancing 2-6, 6-1, 7-5,6-4.

    Roger Federer and RafaelNadal are on the same side ofthe draw for the first time since2005.

    Third-seeded Federer, afour-time Australian Open win-ner, was set to play on RodLaver Arena in a night matchagainst Russian qualifier Alex-ander Kudryavtsev. Sec-ond-ranked Nadal had the lastmatch on Hisense Arena thesecond show court at Mel-

    UCLAs Lazeric Jones, splitting USCs Byron Wesley, left,and Maurice Jones, had 15 points in Sundays 66-47 win.

    By Scott Wolf Staff Writer

    LOS ANGELES USC hit itslow point of the season withSunday nights 66-47 loss toUCLA, and even the Trojanswere humiliated by their per-formance at the Galen Center.

    I think honestly we embar-rassed ourselves, guard AlexisMoore said, and did a disser-

    ice to the university with oureffort tonight.

    Fellow freshman guardByron Wesley agreed.

    We came out not ready toplay, he said. I dont have ananswer for why but we werecompletely flat. We started outOK and died out at about the

    five-minute mark.The Trojans made three of

    their first four shots and thenmissed 16 of the next 20 in thefirst half. Meanwhile, USCssolid defense disappeared asUCLA shot 64 percent in thefirst half.

    Some of the 8,474 fans inattendance left at halftime asUSC trailed 37-19 and was

    out-rebounded 44-19 in thegame. It was UCLAs biggestmargin of victory at USC since1999.

    With the rivalry, you wouldthink we would come out andexecute, Moore said. Wecouldnt do it. Hopefully thenext time we play them we canexceed or match their energy.

    Rusty playersUSC coach Kevin ONeill

    complained after the game theTrojans (5-13, 0-5) are hindered

    by persistent injuries to for- ward Aaron Fuller (shoulder)and center James Blasczyk(foot).

    They never practice,ONeill said. Its tough forguys to improve when theydont take a shot all week.

    Aaron went from a legitimatedouble-double guy to a guystruggling to score.

    Fuller scored eight points in23 minutes Sunday while Blasc-zyk scored three points in 15minutes.

    ONeills echoed his opinionof the Trojans after mostgames this season.

    We are what we are, hesaid. We struggle to score. Weobviously didnt play welltoday and we need to play bet-ter.

    USC is 0-5 in conference forthe first time since the 2004-05season.

    Miner ceremonyFormer USC All-American

    Harold Miners jersey wasretired at halftime. Minerspoke to the crowd and was

    joined by former teammates,including guards Robert Packand Duane Cooper.

    I always played with twogoals, Miner said. First, to

    win and second, to give every-one who saw me play get theirmoneys worth each and everynight.

    Miners wife and childrenalso attended the ceremonyand a large banner with hisnumber was unfurled in theGalen Center rafters.

    ONeill said he was gladMiner agreed to appear andknew him when they were inthe NBA.

    He had a lot better NBAcareer than people think,including him, ONeill said.

    Moore said he met Minerduring Fridays practice.

    It was a privilege to meetsomeone that did so much toput USC basketball on themap, Moore said.

    USC gave out 2,000 Minerbobbleheads but some appar-ently went unclaimed becausethe game announcer told fansthey still were available ontheir way out of the arena.

    Moment of the nightPerhaps it was only fitting

    with USCs shooting woes thatWesley threw a pass that wentinto the basket in the secondhalf.

    I was happy as hell to seethat go in, ONeill said.
