Gonzaga’s Khalif Battle takes the good with the bad in exhibition loss to Eric Musselman, USC
After Pepperdine transfer Michael Ajayi knotted things up at 89-89 when he knocked down a 3-pointer from the left corner, Battle had a chance to put the Zags in front roughly a minute later, but his 3 ricocheted off the rim and USC’s Desmond Claude made a jumper on the other end to extend the Trojans’ lead to four points.
