USC topped Arizona State 73-64 Saturday evening at Desert Financial Arena, but it certainly wasn't normal.
In a second straight game without guard Jaelen House, forwards Taeshon Cherry and Jalen Graham and preseason All-America guard Remy Martin, the Sun Devils fell into a deep hole in the first half against the 8-2 Trojans, trailing 36-18 with 2:08 remaining.
But guard Holland Woods and the Sun Devils came roaring back, closing the half on a 14-0 run and eventually taking a two-point lead at the 8:52 mark after a pair of Marcus Bagley free throws.
