Caleb Love’s 20 points and 5 assists powered the Arizona Wildcats to a resounding 82-67 victory over the visiting Trojans. Despite 4 players ending with double-digits, USC couldn’t overcome the first-half lead to end another dismal night at the Pac-12 Conference.
As Bronny James got his second start in front of a sold-out McKale Center, Kevin Durant was among the audience cheering on the King‘s eldest.
the Trojans took the court desperately, hoping to turn things around against a formidable Arizona. However, they failed to overturn the fortunes in their favor and suffered their 10th defeat of the season.
Bronny James’ USC get blown away by Arizona’s wind
The Trojans made a slow start despite Bronny James getting the opening points for them. They trailed Arizona by 10 points in the initial 4 minutes of the first half. Following this, the big guns from the Wildcats’ locker room further added to USC’s misery by piling up the score with their contributions. Apparently, Caleb Love and Keshad Johnson kept troubling the vulnerable defense to keep Arizona’s lead intact.
However, DJ Rodman and Bronny James made late attempts to close in on the gap between both sides. Yet, their inability to deal with Arizona’s ruthless offense brought the difference back to 10 points as the first half ended on 45-35.
Things were no different by the start of the second half. Despite USC’s best efforts, the margin kept on increasing between both teams. Consequently, Caleb Love and Johnson entered double-digits and tightened the Wildcats’ grip on the contest. On the other hand, the Trojans were struggling to capitalize on the few opportunities that came their way.
In the end, a double-digit contribution from James, Johnson, and top-scorer Rodman was not enough to turn the tides in USC’s favor. The eventual scoreboard read 82-67 in favor of the home team with KD witnessing it all from the front row. However, the Slim Reaper must have been impressed with the showing by LeBron James’ son.
James gets lauded despite the loss
Although USC couldn’t get themselves over the line, Bronny’s efforts were still commendable. The 19-year-old put an end to his 3-game dismal run by finishing the night with the third-best figures for the Trojans. James grabbed 11 points and distributed 6 assists along with 5 rebounds. Hence, his performance was appreciated by the crowd at the end of the game.
Things are getting worse for the Trojans with every game. Clearly, the absence of Collier and Ellis is hurting their game as they now have lost 3 consecutive conference plays. They soon need to figure a way out before it’s too late. What are your thoughts on USC’s performance? Let us know in the comments section.
