USC parts ways with top scorer as postseason looms
USC dismissed sixth-year guard Chad Baker-Mazara, the Trojans’ leading scorer, just before the postseason, saying the move reflected a season-long pattern of issues rather than a single incident. The decision followed a disruptive display in a Nebraska game and came after Baker-Mazara’s history of off-court and disciplinary concerns at multiple prior programs, leaving USC to replace significant scoring production as it pursues an NCAA tournament bid.
