If there was any extra motivation to be had from playing at the same venue where multiple NBA titles have been captured, Jamie Dixon & Co. just about captured all of it on Friday night as TCU basketball cruised to a lopsided 96-61 victory over USC in the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
Looking to extend their win streak to four-straight games, the Horned Frogs rocketed out to a 46-26 halftime lead -- propelled by a 16-2 run to finish the first half -- and never looked back as they recorded their most dominant victory of the season to improve to 7-1.
