.Jacksonville's two new USC players, Thomas Williams and Chauncey Washington, can only hope they'll do as well as UCLA brethren Maurice Jones-Drew and Marcedes Lewis have done there. However, the man behind the game, simply known as Charlie, is quick to intervene and get play resumed.There are three courts so the wait after a loss isn't that bad. He was the consummate teammate and protector, and although he wasn't always the last man standing, he invariably made his point: Mess with a Blackhawk and you'd have to answer to him, and you'd have bruises to prove it.He symbolized the Blackhawks when they mattered in Chicago, which, sadly, was a generation ago. 8 and last four or five games in the first round, which is why Coach George Karl was supposedly in trouble.That, and the fact that Anthony announced that they all "quit" in Saturday's game -- "everybody from the coaches to the players."With Anthony going five for 22 from the field, missing layup after layup to go with his one assist (giving him five for the series) and three turnovers (giving him nine), it might have been seemly to start and end with himself.Instead, he said, "I stunk" before including himself out, adding, "There is no way I can lay down on my team the way we laid down tonight."Actually, he only included himself to be polite. Major league teams must wait until a player turns 16 to sign him, while the buscones may do as they please.Some have taken players out of school and provided them with food, vitamins, training and housing.

He fouled it straight back.By then, a soft breeze at game time had intensified, and whipped Weaver's red sleeves against his arms. Mayo showed up at Omaha's Qwest Center and uncovered new meaning to his personal concept of one-and-done.The eagerly awaited USC-Wisconsin second-round matchup never materialized, getting lost along with Mayo's shooting touch and several pieces of his certifiably ready-for-the-NBA portfolio.Mayo made only six of 16 field-goal attempts, finishing a clear second in the star freshman competition with Michael Beasley as Kansas State rolled past the Trojans in a first-round Midwest Regional game, 80-67.In fact, during its final minutes, USC-Kansas State became the game in the way for local viewers wanting to see whether tiny Belmont was actually going to score one of the greatest upsets in the history of the NCAA tournament Belmont, the No 15-seeded team in the West, tied No. ANN ARBOR, Mich.
