USC has won nine consecutive home games, the longest single-season streak of its kind since the Trojans won their first nine games at the Galen Center to start the 2016-17 season.
Reese Dixon-Waters and Drew Peterson each had 11 points, six rebounds and four assists for Southern Cal. Branden Carlson returned from a one-game absence for Utah and finished with 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting , nine rebounds and three blocks. Rollie Worster added 12 points. Worster made a layup to trim Utah's deficit to 39-34 at halftime. Carlson made two free throws and then threw down a dunk before Gabe Madsen hit a 3-pointer to cap a 7-0 run to open the second half and give the Runnin' Utes a two-point lead. Ellis answered with a 3-pointer to give USC the lead for good and Dixon-Waters hit a 3-pointer in an 11-2 spurt that made it 59-49 with eight minutes to go.
