I don't care what O.J. Mayo said after Saturday's win over Stanford.

He is not coming back to school next season.

It would be a silly thing to do.

So he's not gonna do it.

Good.

Here's the Monday Look Back.

Best game of the weekend: The two schools that make up the best rivalry in college basketball played Saturday in front of a rowdy crowd that featured Peyton and Eli Manning. An ACC title was at stake, as was a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, and with less than three minutes remaining the score was tied. By any standard, that's the stuff of a best game of the weekend. And when North Carolina pulled away late to beat Duke 76-68, the Tar Heels solidified themselves as the nation's top-ranked team if only because they have only lost once with Ty Lawson available.

Worst game of the weekend: Next time Cincinnati gets snowed in it should just cancel its game rather than postpone it and save itself an embarrassing loss. That was the lesson from Sunday when Connecticut recorded its most lopsided Big East victory in history -- a 96-51 blowout of the Bearcats, who were unable to travel in time for Saturday's scheduled game because of inclement weather, then were unable to perform Sunday because of inclement players.

Win to brag about: Billy Gillispie completed the turnaround of all turnarounds Sunday when Kentucky ended the regular season with a 75-70 win over Florida. That means the Wildcats have gone from 7-9 overall (1-2 in the SEC) to 18-11 overall (12-4 in the SEC) in a matter of seven weeks despite losing their best player (Patrick Patterson) to injury. Now the only question is whether the SEC Coach of the Year trophy will read Billy Gillispie or Billy Clyde Gillispie. Because either way it's his.

Loss to hide from: Just hours after Billy Donovan put himself on the wrong side of the bubble with a loss, his former protégé did the same thing. The only difference is that Donovan can still recover if his Florida Gators make a run in the SEC tournament while Anthony Grant (the previously mentioned protégé) will be given no such opportunity.

His VCU Rams lost 56-54 to William & Mary in the CAA tournament quarterfinals and are now stuck in wait-and-see mode. Unless I'm looking at their body of work incorrectly -- no Top 50 wins and four losses outside the Top 100 are two things worth noting -- I'm afraid what seems destined to be Grant's final season at VCU will end either in the NIT or that other second-rate event that's starting this season (it's called the CBI or something, right?).

Player who deserves improper benefits: Demontez Stitt made Clemson look like something other than the worst free throw shooting team in the ACC by sinking two free throws with 3.8 seconds remaining to give the Tigers a 70-69 win over Virginia Tech. It was a nice moment for a program that spent last March enduring a monumental collapse.

That didn't make Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg feel any better about losing a crucial game in such a questionable manner. Up front, let me tell you I'm not a professional lip reader. But I do know one, and he told me it looked like Greenberg yelled, "That's bulls---! That's f---ing bulls---!" when the whistle was blown.

Player who should lose his scholarship: Indiana junior Jamarcus Ellis was just enough of a knucklehead to get himself suspended in time for Sunday's game at Penn State, which turned into Sunday's 68-64 overtime loss at Penn State. Was Ellis the reason the Hoosiers lost? Probably not; IU should be able to beat Penn State without Ellis and with one hand tied behind its back. But Ellis' problems are irresponsible at best, inexcusable at worst. And March is not the time to be doing things that are irresponsible. Or inexcusable.

Why I'm smarter than you think: I wrote in the Friday Look Ahead that San Diego would win the West Coast Conference tournament, and did you see what happened Sunday night? The Toreros upset Saint Mary's in the semifinals and are now set for a title-game showdown with Gonzaga, meaning I'm this close to proving my brilliance once again.

Why I'm dumber than I think: There's this little contest I'm in with a bunch of other writers where we are asked to pick the champions of each league tournament. Seems simple, right? Well, it should be. But sometimes I can't help but over think stuff. And so rather than just pick Drake to win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, I picked Southern Illinois -- a team that spent the season proving it can't score (which is bad in basketball given how it's a game built around scoring). Predictably, this pick did not turn out well. The Salukis lost Friday night to Northern Iowa 54-49. Yep, they only scored 49 points.

Three things you should know before you go

1. The top four seeds in my latest Projecting the Field are North Carolina, Tennessee, Memphis and UCLA.

2. The last four teams in in my latest Projecting the Field are New Mexico, Western Kentucky, Arizona State and Ole Miss.

3. The last four teams out of my latest Projecting the Field are Dayton, Oregon, Virginia Commonwealth and Ohio State.

On tap: Monday, Gonzaga and San Diego play for the WCC tournament title. Tuesday, Butler and Cleveland State will play for the Horizon League tournament title. Wednesday, the Big East and Pac-10 tournaments both start. Thursday, the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and SEC tournaments all start. Friday, American and Colgate will play for the Patriot League tournament title. Saturday, the Atlantic 10 and Conference USA will each award automatic bids. And Sunday, the NCAA tournament bracket will be unveiled. So it's a busy week.

Final thought: The atmosphere at Cameron Indoor Stadium was phenomenal Saturday night, just exactly what you would expect from a Duke-North Carolina showdown with the ACC title at stake. So the Cameron Crazies were crazy and fun. But my favorite moment didn't come from a student. Rather, it came from Mickie Krzyzewski, otherwise known as Mike Krzyzewski's wife, who was practically leading a taunt against Tyler Hansbrough from her seat positioned many rows behind the North Carolina bench.

The chant: Tyler travels every time!

I swear she really was into it and going strong, that Mrs. Coach K. And though in some ways the behavior seemed unbecoming of a coach's wife, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I wouldn't do the same thing if my spouse's team was getting handled inside by a consensus All-American, losing its No. 1 seed in the process.
