Last Night in College Basketball: USC's Triple-OT, Buzzer-Beating W Was Glorious

Big game in triple OT win Rice supplied 26 points (6-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), one rebound, nine assists and three steals in 52 minutes during Thursday's 107-106 3OT win over Troy.

Impact Rice wasn't all that efficient as a scorer, but every last one of his 26 points were crucial as the Trojans narrowly avoided a brutal buy game upset against Troy. The guard was also surgical as a facilitator with nine assists, his fingerprints all over the USC offense. He'll look for another big game against Boise State on Nov. 24.

21 points, eight assists in blowout Rice ended with 21 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-10 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 94-64 win over Cal Poly.

Impact Rice showed now ill-effects from a shoulder injury he suffered in late September. He struck a strong balance of finding his own shot while also finding some of his talented supporting cast to the tune of eight assists. Rice is a big-time player that should be a force throughout the season in the Big Ten. Next up is Manhattan on Sunday.

Starting in season-opener Rice (shoulder) is included in the starting rotation for Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, Shotgun Spratling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Rice was questionable to play as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury that he suffered in September. The junior guard now seems ready to go and will aim to make an impact with his new team.

Expected to play Monday Rice (shoulder) is expected to play in Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Rice's injury status has upgraded from questionable to probable, a positive trend that indicates USC will use him Monday. If available, the guard will look to replicate what he did last season. It saw Maryland's latest team begin a three-game stretch with Rice averaging 16.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers made while shooting 56.3 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from deep, a strong run.

May be questionable for opener Rice (shoulder) is expected to be cleared for contact work this weekend, which would make him questionable for Monday's game against Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, per Jon Rothstein of...

Impact Once the weekend gets underway, it will be a matter of whether or not Rice can log contact work that gets him prepared for USC's 2025-26 season. If so, Rice gets a questionable tag for the regular-season opener, which at least means he may be available then. For the Trojans, Rice is a proven scorer from fellow Big Ten member Maryland, with MD's 2024-25 season including his 13.8 points and 2.2 three-pointers made per game on 43.4/37.4/81.4 shooting splits. So if USC can get an available Rice come Monday, the team likely will have far fewer concerns at guard, which became apparent after Alijah Arenas (knee) suffered a long-term injury.

Suffers shoulder injury Rice suffered a shoulder injury and is expected to be sidelined for one month at a minimum, according to Connor Morrissette of 247Sports.com.

Impact Head coach Eric Musselman acknowledged the injury, and although he declined to deliver a precise timetable for Rice's return, he's expected to be sidelined for at least a month. Rice transferred to USC from Maryland in the offseason and is expected to play a key role in the Trojans' backcourt when healthy. The 6-foot-4 sophomore averaged 13.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.7 steals on 31.1 minutes per game with Maryland in 2024-25. Rice is expected to be available for USC's season opener against Cal Poly on Nov. 3.
