    LOS ANGELES (AP) -Ryan Anderson scored 14 points to help Nebraska edge USC 51-48 Sunday at the Galen Center in a game which featured 20 lead changes and neither team gaining more than a four-point advantage throughout.

    Eshaunte Jones scored the winning basket on a 3-pointer with 11.7 seconds left.

    After USC called time with 8.4 seconds to go, Marcus Johnson air-balled a desperation 3-point attempt from the left wing, preserving the win for the Cornhuskers (4-1).

    Brandon Ubel added 10 points for Nebraska, which committed only seven turnovers in its third straight win. USC had a season-high 17 turnovers.

    Alex Stepheson led USC with 13 points and 12 rebounds for his first career double-double. Johnson, Donte Smith and Dwight Lewis each had 10 points for USC (2-2).

    Trailing 46-43, Nebraska answered with five straight points capped by Anderson's 3-point play after he stole the ball and was fouled while making a layup.

    USC limited Nebraska to three second-chance points by outrebounding the Cornhuskers 38-27.
