Shocked again: USC hands Wichita State second-straight loss
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
12/24/2006 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nick Young scored 24 points, as the USC Trojans downed the eighth-ranked Wichita State Shockers, 60-56, in the third- place game of the Las Vegas Classic.
Young drilled a jump shot with 1:03 remaining and Lodrick Stewart added a free throw to put USC ahead 58-53. However, Sean Ogirri hit a three-pointer with seven ticks left to make it a two-point game. Daniel Hackett then converted a pair of free throws with 6.4 seconds on the clock to preserve the win for the Trojans.
"Our poise defensively finally helped us," USC coach Tim Floyd said. "This was a quality win for us."
Hackett and Taj Gibson both scored 12 points for USC (10-3), which took on Kansas State Friday night in the semifinal round, and the result was a 68-55 loss.
Ogirri netted 16 points for Wichita State (9-2), which carried a 9-0 record into Friday night's matchup with New Mexico, tying the school record for the best start to a campaign. Unfortunately, the team could not claim the outright program record, falling to the Lobos by a 71-68 final. P.J. Cousinard netted 13 points and Kyle Wilson added 11.
"They kept coming at us," Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon said. "They have a lot more athletes than us. Nick Young was unbelievable."
USC shot 25-for-49 from the field, compared to 19-for-50 by the Shockers.
