## Resource

USC’s top scorer Chad Baker-Mazara was abruptly dismissed after a crushing loss to Nebraska, with his fall during the game sparking controversy. A former teammate claims Baker-Mazara publicly criticized teammates for lacking commitment, fueling locker room tension. Shocked by the firing — especially since he believed he had a strong rapport with coach Eric Musselman — Baker-Mazara is now focused on his NBA dreams, training hard for the upcoming draft. But his past disciplinary issues, including a prior college dismissal and an NCAA tournament ejection, could hinder his chances in the pros.
