Up next for USC: Saturday vs. Washington

USC tonight VS. WASHINGTON When: 7:30.Where: Galen Center.On the air: TV: FS West; Radio: 710.Records: USC 11-7 overall, 3-3 in Pacific 10 Conference; Washington 12-6, 3-4.Update: USC blew a 15-point lead and lost to Washington State. Washington lost on a buzzer-beater against UCLA. Both teams should come out fired up to play. One key will be whether USC’s defense can bounce back from an embarrassing second half to go up against the Huskies’ potent offense, led by Quincy Pondexter (20.4 points per game) and Isaiah Thomas (17.8). -- Baxter Holmes
