Offensive Takeaways
USC’s offense was a story of two halves. Scoring 48 points in the first half was impressive, with the team fluidly attacking the basket and capitalizing on open shots. However, the second half told a different story as the offense stalled and failed to recover or halt the Huskies’ massive run.
