USC blew a 13-point second-half lead on the road. Things got even worse at home.
The Trojans squandered a 16-point lead in less than 10 minutes against Colorado on Saturday at Galen Center, falling in double overtime 92-89 in a game that symbolizes the team’s one step forward, two steps back season.
The Trojans (10-16, 5-11 Pac-12) were coming off a gritty win against Utah on Thursday. They were back at full health with Boogie Ellis’ balky hamstring finally healing. Freshman Isaiah Collier was in the lineup for a fourth straight game since breaking his hand and was back to dazzling the crowd with sky-high lobs and speedy drives down the lane.
