USC (17-4, 6-2 Pac-12) trailed for more than 31 minutes of game time, but rallied to lead when it counted. Utah (12-9, 3-5) held USC to 8-of-23 shooting from the floor in the first half and never trailed before intermission. Branden Carlson added 11 points, Rylan Jones scored 10, and Riley Battin finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. The quartet of Rakocevic, Elijah Weaver, Jonah Mathews and Okongwu combined for 54 for the Trojans’ 56 points. USC has not won a Pac-12 title since it was the Pac-10 in 1984-85, splitting the crown with Washington.
