The Trojans went up 22-15 on a 3-pointer by Stewart and stretched the lead to nine on a dunk by De'Anthony Melton midway through the first period.

The Trojans went up by 10 on two free throws by Boatwright and pushed the lead to 12 on a layup by Nick Rakocevic. They increased the lead to 15 with just under three minutes to play in the half and carried a 44-27 advantage into the break.

USC continued to pull away in the second half. The Trojans went up by 19 on a jumper by Boatwright. The Beavers got within 13 on a 3-pointer by Thompson and cut the deficit to 11 on a dunk by Eubanks, but the Trojans staged a 9-0 run to take a 68-48 lead on a three-point play by Boatwright.
