The Trojans (11-3 total, 3-0 Pac-12) went 6-0 in December, together with three straight in open convention play.

The Huskies then used a 10-0 run, fueled by a pair of 3-pointers by Bajema and a pair of baskets by Manifield, to take a 58-55 lead with 10:28 left within the sport. However Ellis responded by scoring 9 factors in an 11-0 run that put the Trojans again in entrance, 66-58.
Ellis completed 10-for-19 from the sector, together with 4-for-8 from 3-point vary, and 3-for-3 from the road, including seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. Drew Peterson added 17 factors and Tre White had 12 factors and eight boards.
