The 10th-seeded Trojans are eliminated 72-62 in the first round as leading scorers Boogie Ellis and Drew Peterson combine for just 17 points Friday
COLUMBUS — Perhaps this was the way it was always meant to end. A USC men’s basketball team whose offense had a penchant for disappearing for vast stretches of games, disappearing at the worst possible moment.
And somehow worse, with USC down nine with two minutes left, after Michigan State missed three consecutive front ends of one-and-one free throws, the Trojans failed to score three times as the opportunity for a comeback slipped away.The Trojans quickly fell behind by 11, in part due to allowing Michigan State to make 10 of 18 attempts with open looks. But the bigger problem for USC was its own shot selection.
After the break, Ellis hit a floater – his first basket of the game, 17 minutes in – and Kijani Wright sank a free throw to tie it, and that’s how the Trojans and Spartans would enter halftime.
