USC upset No. 7 Arizona in quadruple overtime Saturday night. 

The game was a true back-and-forth affair, with the Trojans finally prevailing thanks to two Elijah Stewart free throws with 23 seconds left in the game. The Wildcats went for the win at the end of the fourth overtime, but Kadeem Allen missed a three-pointer as time expired. 

The loss was Arizona’s second straight defeat. The Wildcats trailed by eight at halftime before mounting a comeback and managing to stay alive numerous times.
