The Trojans know what and who they were missing in their crosstown men’s basketball loss three weeks ago and expect improvement Thursday at the Galen Center
LOS ANGELES — One defensive rebound. That’s all that stood between USC men’s basketball and an upset win over UCLA in Pauley Pavilion three weeks ago. One defensive rebound, and the Bruins would have no choice but to foul the leading Trojans, who could then extend their lead with free throws.
Since USC and No. 8 UCLA last met, freshman center Vincent Iwuchukwu has arrived. The former five-star recruit did not play in the first 16 games of this season after surviving cardiac arrest during a summer workout. He, but was a step slow in his first two games as his body caught up with his teammates’.
“I almost got a tech and my man almost scored on the other end [while] I’m over there celebrating with him,” fellow USC freshman Tre White said. “They cooked me in film for that, but I’m with you, Vince, I’m with you.”With Joshua Morgan having an off night, UCLA freshman forward Adem Bona had his way in the paint in the first half. The Bruins won the rebounding margin 36-30, and of course there was that last fateful miss on the glass.
“Sometimes you do your hardest to run guys off the line and lock up, but when I have Vince out there, and Josh and all our big men, I feel like I have a safety net out to where if I do get beat I know he’s going to protect shots, block them and things like that,” White said.
