Arizona handles USC for fifth straight win

Cate Reese had 18 points and 17 rebounds and Aari McDonald overcame a slow start to drop 20 points and eight assists as No. 16 Arizona beat USC 73-57 on Sunday for its fifth straight win and first sweep of the LA schools in 15 years.

The Wildcats improve to 18-3 overall and 7-3 in the Pac-12 heading into a daunting road trip at No. 3 Oregon and No. 10 Oregon State.

Arizona, which led by as many as 14 in the first half, shot 63 percent in the second half to pull away after USC narrowed the deficit to four heading into the final quarter.
