Chad Baker-Mazara led with 25 points but was limited by a leg injury. Alijah Arenas had a tough game, scoring 10 points with a career-high 5 turnovers. UCLAs Donovan Dent shone with 30 points, securing the win with a buzzer-beater. USC now faces tough opponents, with their March Madness dreams hanging by a thread.
