It was the kind of play that underscored just how important Eaddy has become to USC’s offense, something abundantly clear as Eaddy finished with a season-high 21 points on eight-for-13 shooting.He didn’t do it alone. As Eaddy faded in the second half, following a 14-point outburst in the first, it was another transfer guard,Peterson scored 11 points in the second half to finish with 15, while reeling in 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season.
“This is such a deep team,” Peterson said. “Anyone can step up at any given moment. It just depends on what the defense is giving us, and me and Tahj were able to create today.” The two guards took over on a night when USC’s sibling towers were at times neutralized. Fresh off a career high in points, Isaiah Mobley scored just seven against the Cougars but added a crucial low-post bucket late in the game.
That comeback began with Evan Mobley, the Trojans’ leading scorer, on the bench with four fouls. With its guards making plays on the perimeter, it would seem to have been an ideal night for Mobley to dominate. He still finished with 16 points but he reeled in three rebounds, his lowest total this season, while Washington State big man Efe Abogidi tallied 12 boards.
