#17 USC have won 4 straight games and get here after beating the Washington Huskies. Chevez Goodwin scored 16 of his 24 points in the first half, Drew Peterson had 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds, Isaiah Mobley added 12 points. If the Trojans can get continue to big showings from multiple players at the same time once they reach March, they have as high a ceiling as any team in the top-heavy Pac-12.
