USC basketball tops UC Davis in final non-conference game

LOS ANGELES — USC’s men’s basketball team was on a losing skid for most of December.
It will enter Pac-12 play later this week on a winning streak.
The Trojans defeated UC Davis, 73-55, on Sunday night, leading for nearly the entire second half after the teams traded baskets for much of the early goings at Galen Center. It marked their second consecutive victory after defeating Southern Utah nine days earlier before taking a break for Christmas.
