Baker-Mazara's 29 Points Lift USC to 70-69 OT Win at Minnesota

The win halted USC's skid on a meaningful return to Williams Arena for Eric Musselman.

Overview

  • Chad Baker-Mazara hit two free throws with 10 seconds left in overtime and finished with 29 points and eight assists.
  • USC improved to 13-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten, while Minnesota fell to 10-6 and 3-2 as its five-game winning streak ended.
  • The Trojans led by 13 after a Jacob Cofie three, but the Gophers rallied to a late lead before Gabe Dynes forced overtime at the line.
  • Cade Tyson scored 20 points for Minnesota, which came up empty on the final possession after Baker-Mazara's go-ahead free throws.
  • Musselman's first game coaching at The Barn carried family significance, and USC now returns home to face Maryland on Tuesday as Minnesota hosts Wisconsin.
