USC basketball starts slow but dominates Florida A&M 77-48 in their season opener

The first game nerves and sloppiness were evident when the USC men’s basketball team kicked off their season against Florida A&M at the Galen Center. After a first half in which the entire team was incapable of making a jumper, the Trojans were able to find a rhythm on offense in the second half and pull away to win this one handily. Working off a record tying 8 block, 20 point, 13 rebound performance by 5-star freshman Onyeka Okongwu in his debut, the Trojans managed to beat an outmatched Rattler squad despite struggling in several key areas.
