A seesaw battle between the USC and Idaho men’s basketball programs swung the Trojans’ way Monday night, as the Vandals fell 74-55 in Los Angeles.
Despite a 17-point showing from sophomore guard Victor Sanders, the Vandals (5-5) could not contain a second-half outburst from the Trojans offense.
“They made a couple of real good shots at the start of the game,” said USC coach Andy Enfield. “They did a good job in the paint early on.”
Idaho junior guard Perrion Callandret and senior forward Nahshon George combined for 14 points in the first half. Senior point guard Chris Sarbaugh and junior forward Tyler Egbert both collected four rebounds a piece for the Vandals in the first 20 minutes of play.
