USC's Baker-Mazara Departure: Tournament Hopes Hang in Balance

USCs leading scorer, Chad Baker-Mazara, abruptly left the team amidst rumors of off-court issues. His departure was marked by a controversial incident during a game against Nebraska, where he was spotted with fans in the stands instead of on the bench. Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, whose son recently committed to USC, criticized the move, urging the team to bring Baker-Mazara back. The Trojans, who have an 18-11 record, face Washington and UCLA in their final games, aiming to gain momentum for the tournament despite the unexpected shake-up.
