USC overcame a 23-point first-half effort and an 11-point deficit to defeat Oregon State 63-62 at Galen on Sunday afternoon.

There was a good crowd fueled by a full student section and a tee-shirt giveaway. But the Trojans play was so lackluster that the arena seemed dead until the Trojans began their second-half run with just over six minutes left.
