Last Wednesday, the Cardinal were able to grind out a solid win over the Bruins, taking the game 59-53. The win made it back-to-back wins for Stanford.

Stanford can attribute much of their success to Kanaan Carlyle, who scored 17 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Trojans beat the Golden Bears 82-74 on Wednesday.

USC's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Boogie Ellis, who scored 15 points along with eight rebounds and seven assists. Those seven assists set a new season-high mark for him. The team also got some help courtesy of Kobe Johnson, who scored 14 points along with seven rebounds and five assists.

The Cardinal now have a winning record of 7-6. As for the Trojans, the victory also got them back to even at 7-7.

Fans should be in for an exciting game on Saturday as the two teams are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now. Stanford hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 78.2 points per game. However, it's not like USC struggles in that department as they've been averaging 77.9 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
