USC basketball team crushes San Diego, 83-45, in season opener

After two consecutive seasons of relying on young talent — and finishing last in the Pac-12 — Andy Enfield's USC basketball team did something unusual in its season opener: it won, and it won big.

USC took control early in the first half against the San Diego Toreros and never looked back in an 83-45 blowout at the Galen Center. The 38-point margin of victory was the largest in Enfield's tenure and the most for USC men's basketball since December 2012.

"It felt differently because we're a better basketball team," Enfield said.
