Ohio State won’t be bringing home any victories from its Los Angeles road trip.
The eighth-ranked Buckeyes (20-3, 9-3 Big Ten) had two opportunities to earn a top-10 win over one of the Big Ten’s top two teams but suffered double-digit losses in both contests, following up a 65-52 loss to UCLA on Wednesday with an 84-63 loss to No. 7 USC (21-2, 11-1 Big Ten) at the Galen Center on Saturday.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | FINAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #8 OHIO STATE | 11 | 15 | 19 | 18 | 63 |
| #7 USC | 14 | 20 | 25 | 25 | 84 |
A lack of rebounding doomed the Buckeyes as they were outrebounded 62-30 by the Trojans.
