This one will linger with the USC men's basketball team. Despite trailing most of the game Monday night against rival UCLA, the Trojans had every opportunity to steal a victory in the final minutes -- a win that would have sure helped their hopes to get in the NCAA tournament conversation, a win that would have resonated well with the best crowd of the season at Galen Center. After being down by as many as 12 points midway through the second half, USC had a chance to tie it up with 1:54 remaining when former Trojan Kobe Johnson -- now with the rival Bruins -- fouled out of the game to the delight of that loud and highly-engaged crowd and sent Wesley Yates III to the foul line with the hosts down 2 points.
