67-46.
Dwight Lewis scored 18 of his 24 from three-point land. Vucevic had 19 points and 6 rebounds. Marcus Johnson (pictured here overpowering a Bruin) scored 10 to go along with 7 boards.
Congrats to the USC basketball team for their 21 point defeat (largest ever for USC at Pauley) and Kevin O'neill, who was quoted as saying:
"I always tell our guys, play like you have a shot of rabies in you."
This intensity supports O'neill's belief in man-to-man defense, where UCLA was forced to resort to a zone defense just to keep things close.

Was at an alumni event in Long Beach tonight. Kevin O'neill spoke briefly. He is a lot younger looking in person. And his wife is "quite attractive" to quote Jim Alexander and a bunch of the others in attendance; however, we missed an opportune in person viewing due to unfortunate seating selection. Any photo submissions that do more justice will be rewarded.
As for the coach himself we are optimistic. Even though he'd never toured the campus prior to being announced head coach, he's had USC's back (even Tim Floyd's) for a while. Video after the jump.
