USC's three true freshmen are emerging as the Trojans' nucleus, and it was never more apparent than in Saturday's 75-69 overtime victory over Washington State before 2,681 at the Sports Arena. Bibby relied almost exclusively on freshman point guard Kevin Augustine, who played a career-high 37 minutes and responded with 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

It was easily the most influence the freshmen trio has had this season, and it didn't come at a better time. Some of USC's go-to players seem to be fading, as point guard Gary Johnson had six points and forward Jarvis Turner went scoreless. ``I think all the young guys want to play,'' Bibby said. ``They don't know anything else but playing hard.'' Augustine, in particular, defied Bibby's image as a coach who gives players a quick hook by playing all but eight minutes. ``You see when guys are playing well, like Augustine, they don't come out,'' Bibby said. But the Trojans (7-12, 3-6) barely forced the game into overtime. Washington State (8-12, 1-8) had a chance to win at the end of regulation but blew three chances in the final five seconds. Guard Blake Pengelly missed a 3-point shot, forward Kojo Mensah-Bonsu had a short jumper blocked by Trepagnier and Shannon Swillis deflected an inbounds in·bounds adj. 1.

The Trojans dominated the extra period, scoring 19 points in five minutes, only four less than in the entire first half. ``It feels good to get a win, but I'm kind of upset to go to overtime with that team, to be honest,'' Lakey said. ``I know we're better than a team like that. ``The three freshmen out, we want to make a statement on the floor that we can do something.''
