Another USC basketball disappointment leaves Big Ten Tournament as only salvation
- USC’s NCAA tournament hopes now largely rest on a strong showing at the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago.
- USC lost at home to Nebraska 82-67, extending a late-season slide.
- Chad Baker-Mazara left the game with an apparent leg injury in the second half.
- USC is 18-11 overall and 7-11 in the Big Ten entering the stretch run.
- Coach Eric Musselman said the team has been a better road team, not as effective at home.
- Baker-Mazara’s injury could limit USC’s production if he cannot return in time for the tournament.
- Terrance Williams II emphasized there are still two regular-season games and a Big Ten Tournament ahead.
- USC faces remaining challenges without its two leading scorers, complicating a late-season surge.
- Musselman stressed the need for better production from role players after Baker-Mazara’s injury.
- USC counted on bench contributions, with Alijah Arenas scoring 14 late points and Jaden Brownell adding 10.
