After hitting 17 three-pointers in a 99-80 triumph over Missouri State in the consolation game at the NABC Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City on Tuesday, the USC men’s basketball team wants to keep the momentum going against Cal State Bakersfield Sunday afternoon at Galen Center.
Bennie Boatwright was named to the All-Tournament team after scoring 36 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in the two games. He made 56.5 percent (13-for-23) of his shots and 54.5 percent (6-for-11) of his three-point tries.
The senior scored 14 points in a 78-63 loss to Texas Tech on Monday and followed that up with a season-best 22 against Missouri State, increasing his career total to 1,030 points — 38th on USC’s all-time list, only 33 behind Nikola Vucevic, who is 37th.
