1/15/2023: USC Trojans over No. 2 Stanford Cardinal, 55-46
The last time Stanford scored that few points was in 2017. It had defeated USC 14 times in a row, Pac-12 opponents 39 times in a row and unranked opponents 51 times in a row. Destiny Littleton had 18 points for the Trojans, who were the “first team out” in ESPN’s Jan. 13 Bracketology. The Bracketology hasn’t been updated to include this result yet, but bracketologist Charlie Creme had this to say on Twitter:
Stanford did not look good today at all, but the Cardinal are still clearly a No. 1 seed. No one behind them on the 2-line has a better resume to supplant the Cardinal. USC will be moving into the field.
