<p>The Wear twins proved to be too much size for the undersized and undermanned <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/usc-trojans">USC Trojans</a> on Wednesday night, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/ucla-bruins">UCLA Bruins</a> easily dispatched their crosstown rivals with a 64-54 victory at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, a final score that does not reflect the game itself. The loss completed a season sweep of the Trojans by the Bruins, who have beaten USC three consecutive times dating back to last season.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99815/david-wear">David Wear</a> scored 16 points and had 13 rebounds to lead the Bruins, while brother <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99814/travis-wear">Travis Wear</a> had a double-double as well with 14 points and 11 rebounds. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/53690/jerime-andersen">Jerime Anderson</a> added 14 points, five rebounds, and five assists for UCLA (15-11, 8-6), who shot 43.9% from the field on Wednesday. The Bruins outrebounded the Trojans 46-25 and led by as many as 23 points in the second half.</p>
<p>The Trojans (6-21, 1-13) trailed 6-0 to start the game and never led or even tied the Bruins after that. Byron Wesley scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead USC, who shot 39.3% from the field, including just three of 15 from three-point range. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124527/garrett-jackson">Garrett Jackson</a> added 15 points for the Trojans, who have lost five straight games and 17 of their last 19 contests.</p>
<p>USC is off until next week, when they head to Arizona to likely get swept in the desert. The Bruins head to New York to battle St. John's on Saturday morning.</p>

<p>The first half at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on Wednesday night looked awfully similar to the game at Galen Center on January 15 between the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/ucla-bruins">UCLA Bruins</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/usc-trojans">USC Trojans</a>.

<p>UCLA beat USC 66-47 on January 15 at Galen Center.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/ucla-bruins">UCLA Bruins</a> look for a season sweep of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/usc-trojans">USC Trojans</a> on Wednesday night as the two crosstown rivals battle at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. UCLA drubbed USC 66-47 on January 15 at Galen Center, the largest margin of victory for UCLA over USC on the road since 1974.</p>
<p>The Trojans (6-20, 1-12 in the Pac-12 Conference) have lost four straight games, 13 of their last 14 and 16 of their last 18 contests. USC is <a target="_blank" href="http://losangeles.sbnation.com/usc-trojans/2012/2/13/2794764/college-basketball-scores-results-usc-trojans-worst-season">likely to finish with its worst record in school history</a>.</p>
<p>UCLA (14-11, 7-6) had its 10-game home winning streak snapped on Saturday against Cal, but the Bruins are 11-4 at home this season, while the Trojans are just 1-8 on the road. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124521/lazeric-jones">Lazeric Jones</a>, the Bruins' leading scorer this season at 13.8 points per game, scored 15 points in UCLA's win against USC on January 15.</p>
<p>Bruins center <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/100901/anthony-stover">Anthony Stover</a> has tendonitis in his left foot that kept him out of the Cal game on Saturday. Stover returned to practice briefly on Monday and was able to practice in full on Tuesday. He is listed as probable for UCLA on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Maurice Jones, who has played 987 of a possible 1050 minutes (94%) this season for USC, scored 13 points against UCLA on January 15, but was the only Trojan in double figures as USC shot 36.0% from the field and were outrebounded 44-19 by the Bruins.</p>
