Nate Bittle's free throws cap Oregon's comeback to beat USC

  • On Saturday at the Galen Center, Oregon rallied in the final 59 seconds to beat USC 71-70 after a 7-0 run, with Nate Bittle sinking two free throws and Dezdrick Lindsay stealing the ball to seal the win.
  • USC entered the game in a must-win posture to protect its NCAA tournament hopes, having lost 11 of 12 games and with Chad Baker-Mazara questionable due to a knee strain.
  • Drew Carter, Oregon, made a 3-pointer with 50.6 seconds left to cut USC's lead to 70-69, following Evans's inside score and foul with 59 seconds remaining.
  • The loss leaves USC facing a damaged tournament résumé, with Baker-Mazara's late foul trouble and turnover impacting their chances, which 'aren't necessarily dead,' with four games remaining.
  • This coming week Oregon faces Wisconsin on Feb. 25 and Northwestern on Feb. 28 after their upset win.
