LOS ANGELES (AP) — Move over, UCLA. Your crosstown rival has joined you atop the Pac-12 standings.
Ethan Anderson had career highs of five 3-pointers and 19 points, and Southern California routed the 21st-ranked Bruins 66-48 on Saturday night to tie them for first place at 9-2 in the league.
“This is a very big night for me just because I haven’t seen my shots fall the way I wanted them to,” said Anderson, who returned three weeks ago after back issues forced him out in early December. “I’m glad my teammates trusted me with the ball. We did a good job of being unselfish tonight.”
