Ellis scores 27 of his career-high 31 points in the second half, igniting an 18-2 run that puts the Trojans ahead for good USC earns a 77-64 win, avenging a two-point loss at UCLA three weeks ago.
LOS ANGELES — After watching a furious second-half comeback fall short in painful fashion at Pauley Pavilion three weeks ago, USC’s veterans were not going to let history repeat itself against No. 8 UCLA on Thursday night.
There would be no heartbreak for the Trojans on Thursday. Instead, USC took a 77-64 statement win against the Bruins, USC’s fifth straight over the crosstown rivals at the Galen Center. Freshman Tre White got in on the act. A pump fake caught UCLA veteran Jaquez in the air and White ducked under the block attempt to make a mid-range jumper. A couple of possessions later, White dribbled back and nailed a 3-pointer.
The Bruins were all kinds of discombobulated during this stretch, unable to solve the USC defense. UCLA went 1 for 10 from the floor, throwing up awkward shots when drives were stopped in the paint. Veterans threw the ball away, expecting teammates to cut one way when they went the other.
