USC moved to 4–0 on the college basketball season with a buzzer-beating escape from visitor Troy on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
USC's 107–106 win featured an early candidate for the best buzzer-beater of the college basketball season thus far. With Troy leading 106–104 in triple overtime, the Trojans (of Troy) were inbounding under their own basket. The ball was thrown away and USC's Rodney Rice came up with a steal. He threw an outlet pass to backcourt mate Jordan Marsh, who threw up a perceived prayer as time expired that found the bottom of the net.
