Oregon leads at halftime, 35-33. USC is probably fortunate to be only down two but made a comeback in the final five minutes.
UPDATED: It’s 68-65, Oregon, with 3:03 left but Ducks leading scorer Dillon Brooks has fouled out with a game-high 21 points. Bennie Boatwright leads USC with 15 points.
UPDATED: The Ducks win, 81-70, before a crowd of 9,256 at the Galen Center. Chimezie Metu led USC (21-5, 8-5) with 16 points while Bennie Boatwright and Elijah Stewart had 15. Jordan McLaughlin scored only six points. USC shot 37 percent from the field, 22 percent on 3-pointers (6-27).
Nothing like posting about the negative, right, Flow?
What exactly did you find positive about the game last night?
A bitter loss. When Brooks fouled out we had our chance.
I could only watch the last 10 minutes. I got a call from my parents and had to rescue them from a dead battery and chauffeur them tho auto zone for a new one, but we were getting outhustled in that time. A lot of players not ready for passes that resulted in turnovers. Boatwright seemed off. Im disappointed..
That last sloppy pass with about 90 seconds left sealed our fate. It’s hard to understand why the team lacked focus for such a signature game after the romp Thursday night. ESPN gave the game Saturday night plenty of coverage.
It sounds like we arent ready for that next step. At least not at the moment. We just have to bounce back and not fall apart. If we cant win a tournament game it will be a huge disappointing season. If we even make it.
Game over. Oregon 81 – USC 70. USC shooting percentages suck except fpr free throws where the Trojans gained 10 points on the Ducks. Boatwright 1-9. Aaron 1-5 on 3 pointers. Ducks dominate at games end. What’s next ?
USC: greatest Div 1 men’s BB program.
The ghost has appeared.
Itching for an even more humiliating loss than the last one next week, of course! LOL!
Look, the little trust fund kid resurfaced from his tree house.
We OWN you in everything imaginable. FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, CHINESE CHECKERS, and you still run that big mouth.
LMAO!
Do you call a mechanic to change a flat tire??
Hahahaaaaa!
Sure.. Chirp.. We still own your little gutties rears!
Ready to howl! Go for it!
Winning in basketball is always a bonus for us Trojans, especially after how we’ve ended with football last season. It’ll be fun to watch how far we could go this season with basketball, but even without winning something big, it’s comforting to know we’ll be in the hunt for NC with our football next season, UNLIKE SUCLA! LOL!
Once upon a time it wasn’t a bonus. USC dominated LA basketball under Sam Barry and it makes no sense why we can’t be a national power that can beat Oregon in Galen when a nothing school in Spokane Washington of all places is #1 in the country.
That is the third time at home ( AU, Cal, now Oregon ) . The quietest 9K + people in an arena for most of the game. Enfield not my choice to find a way in close games late in the 2nd half. Road games at Pauley, Cal, & Arizona looking very difficult at this time.
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbut UCLA is a basketball, only they cant beat USC the football school in basketball.
Its how you finish what counts.. Something your gutties have failed to do since 1954 and 1995 … No Naional Titles .. It is what it is, we still have won (4) in a row in basketball and have dominated the gutties in football.. Lets put the cards on the table Ucla is no longer relevant on the national scale and Ball stinks.. He will get eat’n alive at the next level.. #AFLOP #TherealBOZOU
