We win 92-53, where despite having our subs in, we had our best offensive quarter, point-wise scoring 25.
The blowout allowed everyone to play and all but Van Gytenbeek and Emma-Nnopu to score, we shot 49% from the field and made 15 three-pointers at a 46% clip. Four of our five double digit scorers were off the bench, underscoring the blowout nature of this game, allowing Tara the opportunity to rest starters for tomorrow's tough matchup against the Beavers.
USC after being on fire against ASU yesterday was held below 30% shooting and 2/22 from three point range.
Like our two previous games against the Trojans, we had double digit offensive rebounds and outrebounded them by 19.
USC will be better next year. All their key players, Pili, Rogers, Jackson and White will only be juniors next year and they also welcome in two All-Americans this fall, so in all likelihood, next year's games won't be as straightforward as the three contests this season. And also, if I was them, losing by at least 20 in each game would give me plenty of motivation over the summer to get better.
