Adding to the total, Isaiah Collier contributed 15 points, despite facing four fouls, highlighting a combined team effort by the Trojans who saw five players scoring in double figures.

At halftime, the score stood at 52-33 in favor of USC, reflecting a remarkable 63% shooting accuracy from the floor.

Shortly before the break, Bronny James was spotted on the bench. Different from last week, he didn’t engage in any pregame shooting. He continues to be absent from the game following a cardiac arrest in July during a workout at the Galen Center.
