Army 85, USC 77 (OT): Kyle Wilson scored 30 points, including 10 in overtime, as the Black Knights stunned the host Trojans.
Kevin Ferguson had 14 points and six rebounds while Larry Toomey contributed 12 points and six boards for Army (7-2). Luke Morrison added 11 points off the bench and the Black Knights earned their second victory all-time over a Pac-12 team.
Jordan McLaughlin paced the Trojans (6-4) with 24 points. Katin Reinhardt had 17 points and Nikola Jovanovic added 14 and 13 boards.
USC trailed 36-33 at intermission, but Reinhardt and McLaughlin combined to trigger a 14-0 run coming out of the break and the Black Knights missed their first 12 shots of the second stanza. The Trojans grew their lead to nine with 5:24 to go, but Wilson went inside for a pair of layups and Ferguson added one of his own to trim the deficit to 63-60.
Toomey knocked down a clutch 3-pointer to make it 65-63 and Wilson's bucket with 24 ticks left in regulation tied it at 65 to force overtime. Toomey and Wilson connected on back-to-back 3s to get the second frame started and the Black Knights escaped on nine free throws in the final minute to seal it.
