While the Trojans have been unstoppable at home this season, their road record has been less than impressive. Entering this weekend's series against the Arizona schools, No. 23 USC possessed a 2-3 away record including back-to-back losses against Oregon and Oregon State on its last road trip. The Trojans were eager to put an end to their unfortunate road streak against Arizona State on Friday, but ultimately couldn't surpass 17 total turnovers en route to a 74-67 loss to the Sun Devils.
USC looked very unlike itself in Tempe, shooting just 2-of-11 from the three-point line to ASU's 8-of-28, and scoring just nine points off the bench to ASU's 25. Despite an impressive double-double performance by Nikola Jovanovic (25 points, 15 rebounds), the Sun Devils outlasted the Trojans in what started as a low scoring, back-and-forth battle. The loss snapped USC's three-game win streak.
The Trojans will look to turn things around by splitting the weekend trip on Sunday at 5 p.m. PT against No. 17 Arizona in Tucson. The game will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1 and on the radio on 830 AM or TuneIn.
