The Trojans have won only one of their last four games, but two of the losses came in overtime. The offense has picked up, with the Trojans averaging 72 points in the last four games. UCLA took a step back in a 71-67 loss at Oregon State. The Bruins, who are shooting 49% this season, settled too often for perimeter shots and shot 39% in that game. Something to watch for: USC leads the Pac-12 in turnovers; UCLA leads the conference in steals.
