Led by a dominant 25-point, seven-assist performance from star guard Donovan Dent, the Bruins dismantled the Trojans 89-68 at the home Galen Center, pushing both teams further down the paths they have been on the past two weeks. Dent’s 25 points tied for the second most he has scored in a game this season.
