USCs regular season concluded with a seventh consecutive loss, a 89-68 defeat against UCLA at home. The Trojans, now 18-13 overall and 7-13 in the Big Ten, struggled after a tied start, as UCLA pulled ahead with a significant run and maintained the lead. This marked UCLAs fourth consecutive win over USC. The game remained close early, but UCLAs impressive shooting and dominance on the boards led to their victory. USCs defense has been poor, allowing over 80 points in six of their last seven games, eliminating them from NCAA Tournament projections. UCLAs Donovan Dent and Eric Dailey Junior led the scoring, while USCs Alijah Arenas scored 20 and Ezra Ausar had a double-double before fouling out. USC faces Washington in the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday, with a deep run their only chance at March Madness under Musselman.
