3. USC Women Host Crosstown Clash With UCLA
   It's crunch time for the USC women as they make a final push in Pac-12 play, sparked by a dramatic and important overtime win at Cal last week. The Trojans (13-11, 7-6 Pac-12) ride the momentum of that road victory home to the Galen Center this week , taking on crosstown rival UCLA (12-12, 7-6) in a 12 p.m. game on Sunday (Feb. 19).

5. Ariya Crook Cooks Cal In Overtime
   The USC women's basketball team won its first game in Berkeley since 2005 in possibly the most dramatic fashion imaginable. After watching host California drain a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force overtime, then falling in a seven-point hole in overtime, USC freshman Ariya Crook scored all 11 points in the final five minute for the Trojans, including a layup with five seconds left. That shot lifted USC to a long-awaited win over the Bears with a heart-stopping 76-75 victory tonight in Berkeley, Calif. USC improves to 13-11 overall and 7-6 in Pac-12 play with the win, and Cal goes to 18-7, 9-4.
