Post-game reaction

USC forward Taj Gibson: “I feel like I let some of my teammates down. You think about this play or that play you could have done differently to boost momentum. Right now, we’re a little shellshocked.”

USC guard O.J. Mayo “It stings because it’s a loss. We definitely put ourselves in a position to win. We can’t let this sting hurt too bad because we’re in tournament mode.”

USC guard Dwight Lewis on last shot. he was supposed to get the pass and shoot or drive but wasn’t open.
“They were switching the screens with (Russell) Westbrook and (Josh) Shipp. (Kevin) Love ended up on me. I wasn’t open.”
