USC Basketball: Boogie Ellis Powers Trojans To Blowout Over Eastern Washington

The senior guard propelled the Trojans to their blowout win.

The USC Trojans get back on the winning track after their dominant win over the Eastern Washington State Eagles, 106-78. 

It was a perfect bounce-back game for the Men of Troy after suffering a tough loss to the Oklahoma Sooners, and for this one, they should thank their senior guard—Boogie Ellis. 

Ellis was lights out, playing his best game of the season, tying a season-high in points with 28 on 69% shooting, 80% from the three-point line, and tallied two rebounds, one assist, and two steals. 

The Trojans built their largest lead of the first half by 22 with a 44-22 lead. Ellis certainly did his thing, but the others were also spectacular. Four other Trojans scored in double digits: Kobe Johnson with 12, Isaiah Collier with 15, Kijani Wright with 12, and Vincent Iwuchukwu with 13 points. 

It was a team effort; however, Ellis led the way. USC is not in an ideal spot, with being kicked out of the AP Top 25 poll. But they have a ton of games left, and a win over their next opponent, the 11th-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs, could go a long way to get back in the Top 25.

Let's hope the Trojans show up big time in the Las Vegas Invitational. that starts this weekend.
