PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Onyeka Okongwu scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Southern California to a 65-56 victory over Washington State Thursday night in the Pac-12 opener.

USC (12-2) dominated the game physically, controlling the paint and holding Washington State to just 28% shooting. The Trojans have now won six in a row and are 3-0 on the road this season.

Okongwu finished 12-of-14 shooting and had two blocked shots in his first game back after suffering a mild ankle sprain. This was his sixth double-double of the season. Jonah Mathews had 10 points and four assists and Elijah Weaver had eight points and four rebounds for USC.
