LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Freshman Jazzy Davidson had a season-high 22 points and 12
rebounds, and No. 16 Southern California beat No. 21 Washington 59-50 on Sunday
night in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams.
USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb, who is 335-166 overall, became the fastest coach in
program history to reach 100 wins, needing just 138 games.
The Trojans (7-2) have won 19 in a row at the Galen Center, their longest home
win streak since a 48-game streak from 1981-84.
Davidson hit a 3-pointer that gave USC the lead for good midway through the
third quarter and sparked a 9-0 run that made it 34-27 with 3:44 left in the
third. The Huskies scored the final four third-quarter points and six of the
first eight in the fourth to trim their deficit to a point with 7:58 remaining
in the game, but Kennedy Smith made a layup and Davidson followed with a short
jumper.
Avery Howell made two free throws for Washington that made it 53-50 with 1:24
to go but the Trojans closed the game with a 6-0 run.
Sayvia Sellers fouled out in the closing seconds with 20 points on 7-of-23
shooting for the Huskies (8-1). Howell finished with 16 points --- 10 in the
fourth quarter --- and 13 rebounds.
Washington shot 27% (18 of 67) from the field, 6 of 25 (24%) from 3-point range.
