Alijah Arenas, Rodney Rice lead 21st-ranked USC to 77-65 win at California to stay unbeaten
Alijah Arenas and Rodney Rice combined for 41 points as USC stayed unbeaten with a 77-65 road victory over California, officials said.
- On Wednesday, USC remained unbeaten in nonconference play with a 77-65 road victory over Cal in Berkeley, California. Alijah Arenas led the Trojans with 19 points and seven rebounds against the former Pacific-12 Conference rivals.
- The Trojans secured their first victory on Cal's home floor since November 30, 2022, after winning nine of the last matchups in the series. Since the Pac-12 disbanded, USC joined the Big Ten while Cal moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
- Rodney Rice added 18 points for USC, complementing Arenas's effort. The Golden Bears shot just 17.4% from three-point range, posting their lowest point total of the season.
- Trailing 9-2 early, the Trojans recovered to lead 39-30 at halftime before extending their advantage late. Nojus Indrusaitis led Cal's second-half comeback effort, pulling the Bears within three points twice before USC sealed the victory.
- Coach Eric Musselman, who previously led the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, returned to Berkeley for the homecoming victory. A missed free throw by Arenas in the second half earned fans a free burger promotion at the Berkeley Shake Shack.
