Bronny James Scores 2 Points, Grabs 4 Rebounds as USC Loses to UCLA

Bronny James struggled during USC's loss to UCLA, with head coach Andy Enfield's team falling by the final score of 65-50.

After starting in three consecutive games, James came off the bench against the Bruins. He scored just two points and grabbed four rebounds to go along with a block in limited action, missing all three of his field goal attempts.

James has struggled with inconsistency throughout the start of his freshman campaign, although his performance on Saturday was disappointing after he seemed to find a shooting rhythm over the past couple of games. In his two previous appearances, he scored 18 points and dished out 11 assists while hitting six of his 11 three-point attempts.

The team as a whole struggled against the Bruins' defense, shooting just 35.4 percent from the field. Fans were dismayed by James' quiet night in particular after he appeared to be turning a corner.

Saturday night's defeat was the Trojans' fifth consecutive loss, as the team has now fallen to 8-12 on the season with a record of just 2-7 in the Pac-12. Their next opportunity to break the streak will come on Feb. 1 against an Oregon team that currently owns a 14-6 mark through 20 games.
