| Postgame - |
| Even though it was a 10 up against a 2 it didn't play like that. USC came to play but they fell short. Down the stretch in the final few minutes USC couldn't hit the big baskets that MIST did, simple as that. Now the Spartans will have a rematch against Kansas who they beat rather handily in January. |
| 2nd Half - :12 |
| USC got the stop they needed but they couldn't convert on the other side. Hackett missed his attempt and with MIST pulling down the board that should do it the Trojan's hopes today. A couple of free throws and the Spartans will advance on to play Kansas in the Sweet 16. |
| 2nd Half - :58 |
| USC has 2 good looks from beyond the arc but couldn't bury either. There was a lot of time left on the clock but it looked like USC never even entertained the thought of trying to drive to the hoop. They are going to be in a very difficult situation the rest of the way. they'll need to stop MIST and score and then hope for luck. |
| 2nd Half - 2:39 |
| MIST takes a timeout as they know that all the possessions are huge the rest of the way. The Spartans will have a chance to widen the gap to their largest lead of the 2nd half. Right now these teams are so evenly matched a 4 point lead would be huge. |
| 2nd Half - 5:28 |
| Floyd rolled the dice by bringing Gibson back in and within a minute he picked up a loose ball foul that will end his night. Today's game was no encore of the 10-10 he had the other night. Good thing for USC that Vucevic has filled in nicely today. |
