As has been the case nearly every game this season, the No. 23 Trojans got off to a slow start. They finally took the lead just before the end of the first half, and didn't look back.
Forward Chimezie Metu scored in double-digits before halftime, and finished up with 17 points. Captain Jordan McLaughlin added 16, plus 9 assists, to help the Trojans go undefeated in their non-conference home slate.
Freshman Nick Rakocevic got in foul trouble early, so Charles Buggs came off the bench and had his best game as a Trojan so far. He went 3-of-4 from the field for 9 points in 23 minutes. USC head coach Andy Enfield said Buggs provided a jolt of energy to the team.
