Chad Baker-Mazara - Remaining out in Columbus Baker-Mazara (knee) is out for USC's tilt with Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday night.

Impact Baker-Mazara will miss his second straight game. The star wing, who averages 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists, sat out the Trojans' narrow win over USC and he'll be held out of action once again Wednesday night. Baker-Mazara will look to return next Wednesday in a tough matchup with Illinois.

Ohio State hosts Arenas and USC

USC visits the Ohio State Buckeyes after Alijah Arenas scored 24 points in the Trojans' 77-75 victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Ezra Ausar - Efficient 13 vs. PSU Ausar finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 victory over Penn State.

Impact This game was a little to close for comfort from USC's perspective, as it took all 40 minutes to bury the lowly Nittany Lions for a two-point win. Still, Ausar had a solid game, notching an efficient 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting. He was limited to just two rebounds, and turned the ball over four times for the second straight game as well. It certainly wasn't a flawless outing, but Ausar remains the heartbeat of this Trojans' frontcourt.

Gabe Dynes - Seven boards off the bench Dynes accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 15 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 victory over Penn State.

Impact Dynes now has seven rebounds off the bench for the second straight game. His minutes, and consequently his production, have fluctuated significantly this season, but the past two games he's been a force on the glass, with the aforementioned 14 total rebounds as well as seven blocks. The 7-foot-5 center is a massive presence off the bench, and if he can give USC a handful of solid minutes around the rim off the bench each game, that will be crucial in the Trojans' push for an NCAA Tournament bid.

Kam Woods - Strong outing in win Woods provided 13 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 victory over Penn State.

Impact Woods entered the Trojans' starting five on Jan. 9, and hasn't relinquished that spot since. While he got off to a quiet start this season, he's caught fire in his last four games, averaging 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.8 steals in that span while shooting 56 percent from the field. As USC pushes for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, Woods appears to be heating up at the perfect time.

Ryan Cornish - Quiet in start Cornish totaled two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 18 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 win over Penn State.

Impact Cornish hadn't started for USC since Jan. 17, and he's been extremely quiet since, coming off two straight games in which he played just one minute. He got back into the starting five Sunday, and notched 18 minutes -- his most since Jan. 15 -- but was still limited to just two points and two rebounds. Aside from an outlier 18-point showing against UTSA in December, Cornish is proving to be an afterthought for the Trojans.

Impact Sunday will mark the first time in which Baker-Mazara sits out a game this season. This season, the senior is averaging 18.3 points and 2.2 three-pointers on 43.7/36.7/90.5 shooting splits, ensuring that USC will not have a plentiful and efficient scorer on the road at Penn State. It is unknown who replaces Baker-Mazara in USC's starting lineup, but the earliest date he can be pushed back to is Feb. 11, when the Trojans will be at Ohio State.

Chad Baker-Mazara - Day-to-day with injury Baker-Mazara (knee) is day-to-day with a knee strain, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Baker-Mazara played just 20 minutes during Tuesday's game against Indiana, with his current ailment possibly offering an explanation why. The 6-foot-7 senior has been a superstar for the Trojans this season, averaging 18.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game across 23 appearances. The severity of his issue is thus far unknown, though head coach Eric Musselman labeled him as 'day-to-day', indicating that it's nothing major. His next chance to play will come against Penn State on Monday.

Jerry Easter II - Limited output off bench Easter accumulated two points (1-2 FG) and two rebounds across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 81-75 victory over Indiana.

Impact Easter has been mostly an afterthought for the Trojans this season save for a handful of modestly productive games. He was once again quiet off the bench as USC stacked a second straight victory. His production has fluctuated significantly and seemingly at random this season; there's little to work with here for fantasy managers.

Jacob Cofie - Drops nine points in win Cofie chipped in nine points (2-3 FG, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 81-75 victory over Indiana.

Impact Cofie had an all-around outing in USC's second straight win, contributing as a passer and on the boards while serving as an efficient scorer. The sophomore forward, who averages 9.8 points and 7.3 rebounds this season, has been inconsistent production-wise but still remains vital to the Trojans' rotation.

Alijah Arenas - Breakout game vs. Hoosiers Arenas closed with 29 points (9-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 81-75 victory over Indiana.

Impact Arenas had enjoyed a productive, but inefficient start to his college career, scoring 7.5 ppg on 28.6 percent shooting through his first four games, while also missing each of his first 10 three-point attempts. The shots started falling more often Monday, however, and Arenas was able to show what made him such a high-profile recruit while carrying the Trojans to victory. A favorable matchup Sunday at Penn State lies ahead, where USC will look to run its winning streak to three.
