Isaiah Collier stats: How did the USC guard perform against Washington?

Isaiah Collier has been a vital part of the USC Trojans' game plan this season. Despite the team struggling to a 15-17 record, the true freshman guard, who joined the program as a five-star and the top-ranked overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, thrived over 25 games, which included 24 starts. The only game he didn't start was the game in which he returned from injury in February.

Entering the Pac-12 Tournament, he has averaged 16.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 48.8% from the field, 32.9% from 3-point range and 67.8% from the free-throw line. While he has played well, the Trojans appear unlikely to reach the NCAA Tournament, barring a miracle in the Pac-12 Tournament.

Take a look at how Collier performed in the first game of postseason play.

After trailing by as many as nine points in the first half, USC entered halftime down 42-37. The game remained back and forth for the first 12 minutes of the second half, with the Trojans trailing 59-54 with eight minutes to go before uncorking a 10-0 run.

While Washington evened the score at 65-65, USC ended the game on a 15-9 run to secure a matchup with the No. 1-seeded and sixth-ranked Arizona Wildcats. The Trojans shocked the then-No. 5 Wildcats (24-7) in the regular season finale on Saturday, defeating them 78-65.

They will need Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis to continue their strong play on Thursday to extend their season. Ellis finished with 25 points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals while shooting 9 of 15, including 5 of 10 from 3-point range on Wednesday.
