Saint Louis vs. USC Game Summary
The Saint Louis Billikens were able to shoot the ball at a respectable level as the team finished going 24-of-57 (42.1%) from the floor, 7-of-23 (30.4%) from the 3-point line, and 10-of-12 (83.3%) from the free-throw line.
The team was not able to do too well rebounding the basketball as they only recorded 28 total rebounds in this matchup. A major flaw was the fact they had the same number of turnovers as they did made field goals (24) as well as committing 25 fouls.
Ad
The team is not going to be able to overcome that but defensively, the Billikens were able to record nine steals and a pair of blocks.
The USC Trojans had an incredible showing in this game on the offensive side of the court as the team had a 50.0/47.6/70.6 team shooting split en route to 104 points being scored.
The Trojans did record 17 assists on 35 made baskets but the rebounding was more where they shined. USC had 43 total rebounds, including 18 on the offensive glass. Defensively, they were able to force 15 steals and were major presences with nine blocks.
