The USC men’s basketball team is taking its time to identify its starting point guard.
Two exhibition wins and Monday night’s 94-64 victory over Cal Poly in the Trojans’ regular-season opener each saw a different starter in that position.
Rodney Rice was first on the floor at point guard against the Mustangs and finished the game with 20 points and eight assists. USC had major offensive contributions from multiple players, though, and five Trojans ended the game with 10 or more points.
Ezra Ausar and Jacob Cofie each scored a team-high 21 points. Cofie added a team-best 10 rebounds and three blocked shots and Ausar grabbed six boards while shooting 9 for 16 from the free-throw line.
