USC next

vs. Stanford, Thursday at the Galen Center, 7:30 p.m., no TV: The Cardinal is proving to be a surprise Pacific 10 Conference contender behind the double-digit scoring duo of guard Jeremy Green and forward-center Josh Owens, who led Stanford’s upset of No. 17 Washington on Thursday. USC and Stanford split their two-game series last season, with each team winning a close game at home.
