After three games in which they seemingly couldn't buy a bucket, the USC Trojans were on fire Monday night.

Four USC starters scored in double figures as the Trojans beat their previous season high for points scored by (66) points. Aaron Fuller was the only starter not to score in double figures and he had nine points.
