No. 7 Michigan State ousted No. 10 USC in the first round of the 2023 NCAA men's basketball tournament on Friday by a 72-62 score, and a poor showing by Trojans star guard Boogie Ellis was a big reason why.
Ellis, who entered the game as USC's leading scorer this season with 18.0 points per contest, struggled through one of his worst performances of the year.
After averaging 24.2 points per game in his previous seven outings, Ellis was held to just six points on 3-of-12 shooting to go along with six rebounds and five assists.
