Boogie Ellis delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 28 points and setting a career-high record of eight three-pointers, leading to USC’s remarkable 106-78 victory against Eastern Washington on Wednesday night.

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.
