Mike Gerrity scored 13 points, while Dwight Lewis, who leads the Trojans with 13.7 ppg, had 11 points on 3-of-6 long-range buckets in the loss. <\/p>\n<p>USC shot an anemic 29.4 percent from the floor, and had trouble hanging onto the ball, committing 20 turnovers. Sophomore forward, 6-foot-10 Nikola Vucevic leads with a team-high 9.8 rpg. <\/p>\n<p>The Trojans are averaging just 59 ppg, but are holding opponents to 56.1 points per contest. <\/p>\n<p>The Devils meanwhile, ended a four-game win streak coming off a 62-46 loss at California on Saturday. The loss took away the chance ASU would be the No.1 seed in the upcoming PAC 10 tourney, but they could still earn a share of the league crown, with a win over Southern California and a loss from Cal. Jerren Shipp scored 14 points to pace the Sun Devils, while the team&#8217;s leading scorer Ty Abbott (12.3 ppg), chipped in with eight. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmaker.ag\/latest-promo\/?cmpid=17435_3889\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.bmaker.ag\/images\/book_basketball_260_180_0.gif?cmpid=3052_1355\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Abbott tops the Devils roster for three-pointers at 42.2 percent.
