The Washington State Cougars lost to the No. 17 USC Trojans as the Trojans hit the game-winner in the final second, 62-60, on Sunday in Los Angeles.

USC (23-4, 12-4 in Pac-12) got the final possession of the game with 23 seconds left. Boogie Ellis, guarded by Tyrell Roberts, drove to the free throw line, created space and knocked down the game winning shot with 0.2 seconds left. WSU (14-12, 7-8) scored just three points in the final five minutes after being up as much as eight in the second half.

With the loss, it all but secures WSU finishing the regular season without a “Quad 1” win.
