Hooped Up

USC Coach Tim Floyd said he was unaware that star recruit O.J. Mayo had been cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana in Huntington, W.Va., and declined to comment on the latest incident involving the Trojans’ signee.

“I’m not going to have any response on it until I know more about it,” Floyd said after USC lost to Oregon, 81-57, Saturday in the championship game of the Pacific Life Pac-10 tournament at Staples Center. “I’m going to talk to O.J. before I talk to you guys.”

Mayo, a 19-year-old senior at Huntington High, was one of four men cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession late Friday night after the car they were riding in was pulled over. Police found what they described as a small amount of marijuana on the driver and an additional amount in the backseat in a spare pair of shoes.
