Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, made his collegiate basketball debut for USC. He impressed with a chase-down block and scored his first college bucket with a 3-pointer. Despite his efforts, USC suffered an 84-79 overtime loss to Long Beach State. Bronny expressed gratitude for his return to the court after suffering a cardiac arrest five months ago. LeBron James, his father, was in attendance and showed support for Bronny. USC's head coach, Andy Enfield, mentioned that Bronny played under a minutes restriction. Long Beach State's Marcus Tsohonis played a significant role in their victory, scoring 28 points. USC's poor free-throw shooting, missing 16 attempts, contributed to their defeat.

Well, college basketball, man. Long Beach State on the verge of spoiling Bronny James' debut with USC. 84-79 lead for LBSU with 7.3 seconds to play.
USC loses 84-79 in OT at home to Long Beach State in Bronny Jamesβ debut: Bronny: 16 minutes 4 points 1-3 FG 1-3 from 3 3 rebounds 2 assists
Collier tried to do it all himself and got blocked at the rim. Long Beach State makes two free throws, and this game is a wrap. Beach up five with 7.3 seconds to play in OT.
#USC could have tied the game but Collier missed his 2nd free throw and now LBSU going to the line. Trojans have missed SIXTEEN (16) free throws so far.
USC is 19-34 from the free throw line. Not how you get Capone! Trojans trail by two, Long Beach State ball with a minute left in OT.

Long Beach State knows it can't just try to slow it down and hope the clock runs out. They're still attacking in what could be a tremendous upset over USC. LBSU was a 13.5-point underdog. Losses to Portland, Louisiana and Illinois State on its resume this season.
USC, a 13.5 point favorite at home against Long Beach State, is now in overtime trailing by 4. USC led by 15 at halftime. Would be a bad, bad loss
USC-Long Beach State going to OT. Bronny James, playing under a minutes restriction, finished final 3 minutes of regulation and remains on court for start of OT. He played 13 minutes in regulation.
MARCUS TSOHONIS!!! TIE GAME IN LA. 74-74 between USC & Long Beach State with 3 seconds to go.
Bronny made the second to put USC up two. Marcus Tsohonis scores for LB State to even the score with 3.9 to play. Enfield calls time out. We're either headed to overtime or .... This can't happen can it?
Bronny misses the 1st free throw. #USC has now missed 13 attempts from the charity stripe. He has one FT remaining with Trojans up 73-72. 21.5 seconds left.
This is quite the finish! A Boogie Ellis layup put USC up one. Bronny got a defensive rebound, advanced up the court, got fouled, missed the first. Monson calls time out. 21.5 seconds to play in the Galen Center.
