After struggling early, USC erased a 15-point halftime deficit to beat Providence 75-71 in a “First Four” NCAA Tournament matchup in Dayton. The Trojans were down by 17 at one point in the second half before coming back to win. Lets review some tweets from when USC was down big…
Providence leads USC 44-29 at halftime. Friars probably won't need a last-second layup to beat the Trojans again. #FirstFour #marchmadness

Looks like it may be Providence that SMU beats in a few days.

I was asked who #SMU fans should be rooting for in #USC-Providence game.
I said USC no doubt. This is why. Just not very good.

Not much of a contest here in Dayton. USC oles its way to a 44-29 deficit at the half. Jalen Lindsey with 15 for Providence.

Looks like SMU coaches can put on the Providence tape. Shooting clinic vs. USC…

I was nervous for SMU to have to face USC, but dang Providence can ball.
