“Arizona is coming off a 91-75 home win over Arizona State on Jan. 12. Arizona has five players averaging at least 10 points per game, led by freshman forward Lauri Markkanen who is averaging 16.7 points per game. USC split the 2015-16 season series with Arizona, winning 103-101 in 4OT at home and falling 86-78 in Arizona.”
Preview from Arizona Desert Swarm:
““Chimezie Metu, in particular, took over,” Miller said. “Him having 20 points in one half, that’s all you have to say. …They weathered Colorado’s lead in the first half because of him.”
For the season, Metu is averaging a team-high 14.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
Second on the Trojans in scoring is McLaughlin. The junior point guard averages 13.9 points and 4.8 assists per contest and shoots 37 percent from 3.”
From “No. 14 Arizona braces for stern test from USC” at Stats LLC via ESPN:
“No. 14 Arizona will carry a 10-game winning streak and a chip on its shoulder into Thursday's game against Southern California.
The Wildcats (16-2, 5-0), however, have lost two of their last three games and four of their last six against Southern Cal (16-3, 3-3) at the Galen Center. The most recent clash was a remarkable 103-101 quadruple-overtime loss on Jan. 9 last season.”
