Watch USC vs. UCLA O'Neill Post Game Press Conference
LOS ANGELES (AP) -Dwight Lewis hit five 3-pointers while scoring 24 points, and Southern California rolled to its biggest victory ever at its archrivals' hallowed Pauley Pavilion, beating UCLA 67-46 Saturday.
Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and six rebounds for the Trojans (11-6, 3-2 Pac-10), who earned their ninth win in 11 games while bouncing back from two Bay Area losses (Stanford and California) with their biggest victory at Pauley since it opened in 1965 - and their biggest win over UCLA anywhere since the 1940s. It was also UCLA's worst home loss since the 2004 season when they were beaten 97-72 by Arizona.

USC, which already banned itself from postseason play this spring, earned its first road victory of the season with this one-sided win over the rebuilding Bruins (7-10, 2-3), who were dominated defensively and outrebounded 37-22.
Malcolm Lee and Michael Roll lead the Bruin with 12 points each.
