Irratated Trojans Fall Apart

The USC men's basketball team fell to Washington 60-51, and remain in sixth place in the Pac-10 standings. The loss was somewhat overshadowed by a clash between Daniel Hackett and Dwight Lewis. Witnesses saw Hackett and Lewis engage in a shoving match after Hackett became irritated with a group of fans. Lewis defended the fans and a fight began between the two Trojans. USC led 50-46 with 5:53 left, but only scored one point after that. The Huskies out-rebounded the Trojans 19-12 in the second half, and both teams finished the game with a .380 shooting percentage. Lewis and Hackett both scored 11 points to lead USC, and Taj Gibson had 10. Qunicey Pondexter had a game-high 22 points.
