(Culled from USCTROJANS.COM) Before today, USC had allowed 520 points in its first nine games (57.8 ppg), its fewest through nine games since allowing 514 points in the first nine games of the 1959-60 season. USC has held its last three opponents to 55 points or less and in five of its nine games this season. USC has held 58 teams to 60 points or less in the last five seasons (144 games), including five this season. The Trojans held 17 of their opponents last season to 39.2 percent shooting or less, and have held 73 teams under 40 percent shooting in the last 144 games. USC was outshot from the field just nine times last season and three times so far this season (Nebraska, Texas & GT). USC has had a better shooting percentage that its opponent in 91 of the last 114 games. USC held Sac. State to 23.0 percent shooting on Dec. 8, the lowest percentage by a Trojan opponent since Loyola Marymount shot 22.4 percent from the field on Dec. 9, 1998. The last three Trojan opponents have combined to make 30.7 percent (54-for-176) from the field. They rebound, too - USC is 7-1-1 in the rebound battle this season and has outrebounded each of its last seven opponents (Coppin State, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia Tech, Sac. State, Idaho State & Tennessee) for a total rebound advantage of 294-206. Sophomore Nikola Vucevic (10.7) and junior Alex Stepheson (10.6) are the top two rebounders in the Pac-10. Through games of Dec. 20, they rank tied for No. 18 and No. 22 respectively in the country in rebounding and USC is the only team with two players ranking in the top 50. Tough game ahead, men.
