USC basketball was back and better than ever with a win over Santa Clara

The three weeks USC basketball spent with activities paused because of COVID-19 didn’t leave the Trojans with much rust, as it turns out.

USC returned to the Galen Center on Tuesday night with an impressive victory over Santa Clara, 86-63.

The Trojans improved to 5-1 in 2020 as a result.

The lowdown: Isaiah Mobley put USC on the board first and doubled up with the second basket of the night as the Trojans took control early.
