Chad Baker-Mazara (29), Usc Squeeze Past Minnesota

Minnesota's 10-6 record includes a 9-1 home mark despite the loss, with key fouls and limited turnover points contributing to USC's overtime win.

  • On Friday, Minnesota lost 70-69 in overtime to USC Trojans men's basketball team at Williams Arena, ending a five-game winning streak when Chad Baker-Mazara made two free throws with 10 seconds left.
  • Early foul trouble sidelined key Gophers Jaylen Crocker-Johnson and Langston Reynolds, and USC outscored Minnesota 14-8 to lead 35-30 at halftime, extending to 41-30 on a 6-0 run.
  • Minnesota forced 16 turnovers but scored only six points off them, while Gabe Dynes, 7-foot-5 center, made a free throw to tie the game at 63-63.
  • The defeat left Minnesota with a 9-1 home record blemish and conference consequences, dropping to 10-6 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten, while USC returns home 13-3 overall and will host Maryland on Tuesday.
  • Coach Niko Medved's visible frustration grew as Cade Tyson finished with 20 points but had the ball poked away on the final possession, while home fans at Williams Arena loudly booed late calls.
