LOS ANGELES -- Jonah Mathews and Elijah Stewart each scored 16 points to lead USC to a 77-59 victory over Cal on Sunday at USC.
USC (17-6, 8-2 Pac-12) has won six consecutive games and remained in second place in the Pac-12 Conference standings behind No. 11 Arizona (8-1). The Trojans have won eight of their last nine.
Cal (7-15, 1-8) is mired in a funk as its lost eight consecutive games, something the Bears haven't done since 1992.
Mathews made a 3-pointer from the baseline nine seconds before halftime to give USC a 31-29 lead at the break.
