Trojans streak into halftime
TROJANS, 40-35
One thing you can say about USC, the Trojans can score in a hurry. And they did just that late in the first half, breaking from a tie at 31 with seven points in less than a minute.
And most of those points came via Lodrick Stewart forcing turnovers from Kyle Weaver.
The Cougars only have three turnovers in the half, but the two late allowed USC to get some separation.
Aron Baynes is once again making his presence known with eight points, tied for second on the Cougs with Weaver behind Derrick Low's 10.
