Down 17 points in its First Four matchup against Providence, USC men's basketball needed some serious help to pull off a win.
An unlikely hero came off the bench midway through the second half to provide the spark the Trojans were looking for: freshman Nick Rakocevic.
In the highlight of his season, Rakocevic netted nine points, plus a steal and a rebound to lead USC to a 75-71 victory and keep its tournament hopes alive.
The forward played in all 36 games his freshman season, starting eight. He averaged 5.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.9 minutes of action per game.
Rakocevic aims to come back bigger and better for his sophomore season, which begins this fall. Click here for tickets!
