USC basketball vs. Vanderbilt score, recap: Trojans fall to Commodores
Despite Nick Rakocevic’s 19 points and 18 rebounds, USC basketball dropped their first loss of the season on Sunday evening, falling to Vanderbilt at the Galen Center, 82-78.
The lowdown:
The Trojans opened the game struggling to score but the introduction of freshman Kevin Porter Jr. sparked the offense with 11 straight points for the Trojans.
It was a battle of the freshmen, in fact, as the Commodores were led by their own pair of first year phenoms Simisola Shittu and Darius Garland, who put up 14 and 19 points respectively.
