USC Women's Basketball Falls to Penn State, NCAA Tournament Doubt Looms

USC Womens Basketball Falls to Penn State, Faces NCAA Tournament Doubt: Despite leading for 86% of the game, USC lost to Penn State, marking their second straight defeat. The Trojans, now 17-11, were outshot in the second half, with Penn State hitting 64% from the field. Sophomore guard Kiyomi McMiller scored a career-high 40 points, leading Penn State to a Quadrant three upset. USCs offense showed promise, but late-game shooting woes and defensive lapses cost them the game.
