Harrison Hornery scored 14 points off the bench and Southern Cal breezed to an 82-54 victory over Oregon State on Saturday. Hornery missed both of his 3-point attempts but hit all five tries from inside the arc for the Trojans (9-13, 3-8 Pac-12 Conference). Oziyah Sellers and reserves DJ Rodman and Kijani Wright all scored 12 for USC.

Rodman played about five inches bigger than his 6-foot-6 frame, beating the backboard into submission in one of the more impressive individual performances of a formerly wilting USC season.

The Trojans' bigs weren't much better rebounders Saturday night but DJ Rodman rose to the occasion.
