It was ugly. That is all you need to know about the UCLA basketball team and their bludgeoning at the hands of USC, a team that has been severely hit by injuries and suspensions.
The Trojans deserved to win this. From thoroughly outplaying, outhustling and outclassing the Bruins, USC got the well-deserved win. Congratulations to them.
As for UCLA, it is time to reevaluate.
The unfortunate thing is that this was closer than it appeared, at least up until the second half. Though it was a sloppy output by both teams before halftime, UCLA kept it close with USC, trailing 36-33 at the break.
