"Though he managed to hit the first two three pointers of his college career early in the second half against Rutgers - he was previously 0 for 11 - Arenas fell short of securing his first double-digit game, scoring nine points on 3 of 9 shooting. After accruing four fouls, Arenas sat to close out the game, finishing with under 20 minutes on the court."
"Jacob Cofie, who was especially important during a 16-4 USC run in the first half, secured his fifth double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. While Baker-Mazara got off to a relatively quiet start and missed his first three attempts from beyond the arc, he put up an 11-point second half, finishing with 17 points on 7 of 15 shooting to go along with five rebounds."
