Evan Mobley caught the ball at the top of the arc and dribbled in. The 7-foot phenom drew the defense, as he usually does, and created an opening for his older brother, Isaiah. Evan bounced the ball to the baseline and Isaiah leaped, up over 7-foot-4 Washington center Riley Sorn, and slammed the ball home.
Seventeen minutes into the game and the USC men’s basketball team was finally done playing with its food.
The dunk was the highlight of an 18-4 run by USC to close the first half, a stretch that took the 20th-ranked Trojans from down four to on their way to a 69-54 victory over Washington in Seattle, their 11th win in their last 12 games.
“Our starters came back in the game and they played like they wanted to take the lead at halftime,” head coach Andy Enfield said. “I thought that was a very, very impressive seven-minute stretch.”
