Bronny James Limited to 2 Points with 4 Fouls as USC Loses to No. 19 Washington State

Bronny James played limited minutes while dealing with foul trouble Thursday night as USC fell short of a big upset of No. 19 Washington State, losing 75-72.

James got on the board early, hitting a contested jumper a few minutes into the matchup, but from there he couldn't get much going and played just three minutes in the first half after picking up a pair of fouls.

James saw a little more action in the second half but once again saw his time limited by foul trouble. He finished with just two points, a rebound and four fouls.

Isaiah Collier led the way for the Trojans in the scoring department, notching 24 points and continuing to show why he will likely be a first-round pick in this year's NBA draft.

Unfortunately for Collier, his efforts weren't enough to propel USC to its best win of the season.

Leading by as many as nine points, the Trojans looked to be in good position for the upset halfway through the second half, but a run from the Cougars put them on top as they avoided the upset.

The Trojans dropped to 11-18 and 5-12 in Pac-12 play with the loss. With just three games left to play in the regular season, a tournament bid seems nearly impossible for USC.

Still fresh in his college career, Bronny has plenty of time to find his footing. He's shown flashes at various points throughout the season, such as when he scored 15 points early on in conference play against Oregon State.

James entered the game averaging 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season. As he continues to develop, he could turn into a valuable player for the Trojans.
