The revolving line to the infirmary at USC continues.
Trojans wing Dwight Lewis is back to full strength and Leonard Washington is still about 50 percent back from an ankle injury that kept him on the sidelinesfor the first four Pac-10 games. Kasey Cunningham has missed most of the season and now UConn transfer Marcus Johnson is out with a shoulder injury Floydbelieves came while dunking in a game.
But the key piece that's been missing may be the absence of a quick point guard.
Floyd has underrated 6-foot-5 Daniel Hackett at the point, but he'd prefer to play the versatile junior off the ball. However, since Angelo Johnsontransferred to Southern Miss in the summer, the Trojans don't have a guy who can take the pressure off Hackett.
Junior college floor leader Donte Smith was supposed to be that guy, but he's played about 11 minutes per game this season and averaged less than fourminutes in the four games leading up to the loss to UCLA last week.
``We need a guy who can give Daniel a blow or let him move to the two," Floyd said.
Highly touted freshman DeMar DeRozan has certainly made progress since he was a non-factor for much of the early season and Lewis is one of the most underratedplayers on the west coast. While athletic big man Taj Gibson struggled in the loss to UCLA, he's had a terrific junior campaign and is averaging adouble-double.
But the Trojans miss that point guard who can alleviate some of the pressure off Hackett - and also apply some pressure to the opposing point guard.
USC is 15-7 overall and 6-4 in the Pac-10 - just one loss behind second-place Washington.
MILES AWAY FROM STORRS
It didn't take long for Nate Miles to make an impact.
The former UConn guard, who was kicked out of school in the first semester following an arrest for violating a restraining order, averaged 24.5 points, 5.5rebounds and 3.5 assists in his first two games over the weekend at the College of Southern Idaho.
``He was well worth the wait," CSI coach Steve Gosar said. "He was a nice shot in the arm."
Gosar raved about Miles' natural ability and said his passing and unselfishness has been the one aspect of the 6-foot-6 guard's game that has surprisedhim. He also spoke highly of how Miles has handled himself off the court thus far in the junior college ranks.
``He's been better than I expected," Gosar said. "I've been pleasantly surprised with his work ethic. He's been a great teammate and thegames when he wasn't able to play, he was into the game going crazy for his teammates."
Miles has three options after this season:
1) He can return to UConn if the school allows him back. According to sources close to the situation, it appears as though all the charges against Miles willbe dropped.
2) He can put his name in for the NBA Draft.
3) He can return for another year at the College of Southern Idaho and then go to any four-year school of his choice.
CSI is 18-6 overall and 5-4 in league play, but Gosar has added arguably the most talented junior college player in the entire country to a group that alreadyincludes Utah-bound sophomore forward Jay Watkins and 6-foot-8 uncommitted forward Daequon Barrett.
``Those two guys have really stepped up with their scoring and rebounding," Gosar said.
Gosar also said that point guard Jamelle Barrett will be key down the stretch if CSI is to win another national title.

I really like this 'Nova team. I mean they got to the sweet 16 last year, they have experienced guys, and they have a very good bench which I can't sayfor many teams this year. They consistently have one guy on the bench step up every game whether it's the Corey's or 'Ton. And once again there arenot many better coaches than Jay Wright. This is one of the few teams I buy.

SHU has now won 5 straight in the Big East.
They definitely ARE a tourney team. Tyrese Rice is one of the best players in the ACC.
Can't wait 'til the UNC Duke game tomorrow.
Edit: allen, I've always been a Seton Hall fan for some reason, and it looks like they're playing well right now. Jeremy Hazell is a beast.

It's a good thing BC has that UNC win, cause that's the only impressive thing they've done.
And I'll go on to assume they drop this one tonight

Great shot by Meeks. I wanted overtime.
Texas bounced back a little today, but they've just disappointed me too much this year.
