Colorado 98, USC 94 (3OT): Askia Booker scored a career-high 43 points - the most by a Pac-12 player this season - and 19 after regulation as the Buffaloes recorded their first win on the road this season in wild fashion.

Xavier Johnson recorded 12 points - including a clutch 3-pointer in the first overtime - before fouling out with 2:31 left in the second OT and freshman Tory Miller added season highs of 11 points and 13 rebounds for Colorado (11-9, 4-4 Pac-12). Booker was 13-for-23 from the field - 4-for-10 from 3-point range - and 13-for-15 from the free-throw line to help the Buffaloes overcome three players fouling out, including Wesley Gordon (eight points, seven rebounds) and Dustin Thomas (nine points).

Katin Reinhardt scored a career-high 35 points and tied a school record with nine 3-pointers before fouling out with 3:41 left and Nikola Jovanovic recorded a career-best 30 points - his 15th consecutive double-figure game - and nine rebounds before fouling out in the final seconds for USC (9-11, 1-7), which lost its fifth straight contest. Freshman Jordan McLaughlin contributed 11 points, seven points and seven rebounds, but was 5-for-12 from the free-throw line.

Colorado led by as many as 11 in the second half before scoring five points - all free throws - over the final 8:26 of the period as Jovanovic forced overtime with a basket at the rim to make it 66-66 with 44.1 seconds left. Johnson's 3-pointer - the Buffaloes' first field goal since the 10:13 mark of the second half and the only one by either team in the first overtime - made it 73-73 with 30.4 seconds left before McLaughlin's jumper in the lane bounced off the rim as time ran out.

Jovanovic could not complete a three-point play after giving USC an 83-81 lead with 18.7 seconds remaining in the second overtime, allowing Booker - who scored nine of Colorado's 10 points in the second OT - to deliver a floater in the lane with eight seconds left to force a third extra period. Booker scored eight points in the third OT, including a pair of free throws with 13.4 seconds left to make it 97-94 before McLaughlin missed a layup and Miller sealed the victory with a free throw.
