Frenetic runs define the game of basketball and this one was no different. Washington and USC each had stretches of this game where they looked dominant, but in the end the scores weren't all too dissimilar. The Trojans were able to hand on to their undefeated home record with a 98-88 win against the Huskies.
Few expected this tilt to be a matchup of two teams sitting near the top of the conference, but the Huskies walked into the Galen Center tied for first in the Pac with Oregon and the Trojans were only a game behind.
It didn't start out looking like a heavyweight tilt, however with both teams starting off cold from the field and especially the perimeter, combining to miss their first seven treys before Dominic Green finally found the bottom of the net from beyond the arc with 11:31 remaining.
