The Friars eventually won 70-69 thanks to a broken inbounds play where no Trojan picked up Rodney Bullock and he got the go-ahead layup with 1.4 seconds left on the clock. USC heaved a shot at the buzzer, but it clanked off the backboard to give coach Ed Cooley and the Friars their first NCAA Tournament win since 1997 when they went to the Elite Eight.
