Trojans Fall At Stanford On Halfcourt Buzzer-Beater, 77-76

Story Links

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Deajon Davis hit a desperation 50-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer and Stanford shocked USC 77-76 on Sunday night.

Jordan McLaughlin had given the Trojans a 76-74 edge with 1.7 seconds left. Davis took the inbound pass, dribbled twice and let it fly, hitting nothing but net as time expired.

Reid Travis scored 18 of his career-high 29 points in the second half for the Cardinal, who were coming off a double-overtime victory over UCLA. Michael Humphrey added 15 points.

Kezie Okpala, who finished with 11, tied the game at 72 with a jumper and Davis hit a driving jumper to put Stanford (8-8, 2-1 Pac-12) up 74-72 with 1:43 left to play.

Chimezie Metu, who scored 20 points, tied the game 20 seconds later with a short jumper at the basket.

Earlier, Metu got a dunk to open the second half and give the Trojans a 13-point edge. The Cardinal rallied to within 51-49 with 16:39 remaining to play.

USC (11-6, 2-2) rebuilt its advantage to 15 points six minutes later. The Cardinal weren't going anywhere though.

The Trojans took advantage of eight offensive rebounds and six turnovers for a 16-5 edge in second-chance points and a 13-2 advantage in points off turnovers during the first half.

Stanford took a nine-point lead in the first five minutes but the Trojans quickly turned that around and opened a 47-36 halftime advantage.

BIG PICTURE

USC: Senior point guard Jordan McLaughlin, who leads the Pac-12 with eight assists a game, is all over the school's all-time lists in both assists and steals. He's also on several watch lists. He's one of the main reasons the Trojans have improved their record every season.
