Peterson has a game-high 20 points – including a critical three-point play in the final two minutes – and adds eight rebounds and eight assists in a 59-57 victory.
LOS ANGELES — It was a play that USC guard Drew Peterson repeated several times on Tuesday night: Post up a smaller defender, spin back for a fadeaway basket. One of Peterson’s favorite moves, year after year.
A defender’s hand on his elbow elicited the official’s whistle, and Peterson’s shot went through the cylinder. And the senior guard pumped his fist yelling at the USC bench to celebrate the pending three-point play and the Trojans’ largest lead to that point – five – with 1:57 to play.“It’s a test that’ll really help us down the road,” Peterson said. “We need to get a little bit tougher and I think that’s what we showed tonight.
Whatever offensive progress USC had made from Game 1 to Game 2 was lost over the weekend. USC shot made just 25.9% of its attempts from the field in the first half, with Peterson and Boogie Ellis combining to go 2 for 10.
