MAUI, Hawaii (AP) --- Rodney Rice scored a season-high 27 points, Chad

runner while being fouled with 14.8 seconds left in the game. He made the
basket and free throw to give USC the lead at 68-65.
After the teams traded free throws, Boise State inbounded it with 4.2 seconds
left and quickly got down the court for Javan Buchanan's good look from 3-point
range that came up just short at the buzzer.
Rice made four of USC's 11 3-pointers, while Boise State went 5 for 25.
Buchanan led Boise State (4-2) with 18 points. Pearson Carmichael added 14
points and Aginaldo Neto 10.
Boise State trailed for 25-plus minutes, with its last lead at 59-58 at 2:57.
