UCLA Basketball: Bruins Did Something for the First Time Since 2018 in Win over USC

That snaps their five-game losing streak at the Galen Center.

The UCLA Bruins clinched a hard-fought victory, securing their ninth win of the season in a crucial game against their cross-town rivals, the USC Trojans. The Galen Center, a venue that hasn't been particularly kind to the Bruins in the past five years, witnessed a dramatic turnaround on Saturday night.

The Bruins brought an end to their five-game losing streak at the Galen Center. 

The Bruins recorded their first victory at USC since March of 2018, snapping a five-game losing streak at the Trojans' home venue. UCLA and USC split a two-game season series in 2022-23, with each team winning the game at its home arena.

Taking control of the game just before the conclusion of the first half, the Bruins maintained their dominance throughout, leaving no room for a USC comeback. The team's command over the game effectively silenced the home crowd, contributing to their success on the road.

This victory showcased a stellar performance by several unsung heroes on the Bruins' roster. The collective effort and standout contributions propelled them to a well-deserved win. The Bruins' ability to take charge early and sustain their momentum underscores a positive shift in their play.

As the Bruins enter the final stretch of the season with only 11 games remaining, this triumphant performance could signify a turning point. Piling up wins in the coming games will be crucial, and the Bruins seem to be playing the right brand of basketball to achieve that goal. 

With this recent success, the Bruins are positioned for a strong finish to the season, building momentum and aiming for further victories in the games ahead.
