USC Basketball: Andy Enfield Unpacks Trojans Backcourt's Iso Issues

USC's two best players haven't been too great.

Your USC Trojans' two best players, star guards Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis, have had underwhelming, injury-riddled runs during an ill-fated 10-16 season start.

Following the Trojans' latest loss, a 92-89 double-overtime heartbreaker against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, 11th-year head coach Andy Enfield reflected on the less-than-dynamic duo's decision to run a series of isolation possessions at the end of the contest, per Luca Evans of The Orange County Register.

"Sometimes, they just started switching, so some of our actions -- they would switch some of our screening action," Enfield observed. "But we got downhill, we got to the rim, we missed six layups."

To win, the Buffaloes came all the way back from a 16-point deficit in the second half, forcing the game into its first extra period.

Ellis, a fifth-year senior out of San Diego, led the Trojans with 30 points on 10-of-19 field goal shooting (5-of-9 from deep) and 5-of-6 free throw shooting. He also chipped in five assists, four rebounds and a steal in the losing effort.

Collier, a potentially one-and-done freshman out of Marietta, Georgia, scored 25 points on 9-of-19 shooting from the floor (2-of-5 from distance) and 5-of-7 shooting from the foul line, while also contributing nine assists, three steals, two blocks and a rebound.
