Sixth-year senior guard Chad Baker-Mazara, who spent most of this season as the Trojans' top scorer, has left USC's men's basketball program.

The Trojans build a five-point lead at halftime but get outscored by 20 points in the second half as the No. 12 Cornhuskers cruise to the win at the Galen Center.

Kara Dunn had 24 points and Jazzy Davidson had 22, but Penn State rallied to narrowly defeat the USC women.

USC coach Eric Musselman says it has been tough to cope with Rondey Rice's absence on the night the Trojans lost at UCLA.
