Bronny James' Disappointing Debut as USC Starter Ends in Loss to Colorado

Despite initial lead, USC falls short in second half as James struggles to make an impact in his first start.

Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, had a disappointing first start for USC, going 0-for-7 from the field and scoring no points in a 68-58 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes.
James' performance was not enough to compensate for the absence of USC starters Joshua Morgan, Boogie Ellis and Isaiah Collier, who were sidelined with injuries.
Despite James' struggles, USC initially led the game with a 37-24 halftime lead, but fell behind in the second half as Colorado's J'Vonne Hadley led a balanced attack with 15 points.
James' lack of aggression was critiqued by fans, with some suggesting he is playing too safe and seems scared of making a mistake.
USC is off to a shaky 8-9 start to the season and is now 2-4 in conference play.
