The Bruins had more turnovers (14) than their opponent for the first time this season and squandered a double-digit halftime lead in a 77-64 defeat at USC.
LOS ANGELES — Last year at the Galen Center, it was USC’s Drew Peterson, who looked like Larry Bird raining shots from every angle and in every which way, a barrage of turnaround jumpers and deep 3-pointers en route to a Trojans victory over UCLA.
The stellar performance from one player draws the comparison to last year’s game, but the double-digit halftime lead dissipating into thin air felt a lot like the Jan. 5 matchup at Pauley Pavilion when the Bruins nearly surrendered an 18-point lead before holding on for a two-point win. “They made shots, we didn’t. Rivalry games. It’s about performance. They had guys step up, raining in shots. We didn’t,” said Cronin, whose team had a 14-game winning streak before losing to Arizona last weekend.
“I’d like him to play better defense,” Cronin said. “The guy had 15 points, I’m more worried about his defense.”
