Bronny James' Passing Delights CBB Fans as USC Routs Oregon State

Bronny James had an opportunity to get in the USC Trojans starting lineup Saturday night and showcased some of his playmaking talent with the opportunity.

He scored nine points, grabbed three rebounds and added a steal in the Trojans 82-54 blowout victory over Oregon State. Passing the ball was James' best attribute in the game, however, as he had a game-high six assists and was noticeably in sync with his teammates.

It was James' fourth start of the season and the third time this season that he had at least six assists in a game. The performance helped USC improve to 9-13 on the season.

Fans on social media praised his passing ability and celebrated the improvement he has shown in multiple facets of the game.

The Trojans will need to have a red-hot second half in order to be in play for the NCAA Tournament. A Pac-12 Championship and an automatic bid would get the team there, and seeing performances like this definitely helps that reality.

While Oregon State has a superior 11-11 record to the Trojans, it still is second-to-last in the conference standings. USC is currently occupying the last place spot, and navigating through the tournament will be extremely difficult.

Still, Saturday's win was a positive and James' strong play shows that this Trojans team is capable of doing some damage.
