Kris Dunn got the Friars going early with a 3 pointer to halt a quick 4-0 USC spurt to open the game.
The Friars made their first run about eight minutes in. After Jalen Lindsey knocked down a 3 pointer he finished a lob from Kyron Cartwright. On the next possession Rodney Bullock canned a 3 of his own.
With Dunn on the bench for the final eight minutes of the first half, Cartwright gave PC a lift with this slip and score.
