LOS ANGELES (AP) - Desmon Farmer scored a game-high 23 points to lead Southern California in a 93-54 rout of Morris Brown Saturday at the Sports Arena.
Jonathan Oliver added a career-high 19 points while Nick Curtis had 13 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and three blocks for the Trojans (2-1), who had six players score in double figures.
Akiem Claborn scored 11 points while Larry Washington and Amien Hick had 10 apiece for the Wolverines (1-2), playing their second year in NCAA Division I.
The victory was Southern California's most one-sided since the Trojans defeated Loyola Marymount and Northwestern by 41 points during the 1999-2000 season.
Morris Brown's Ed Benton scored the game's first basket but USC responded with a 13-0 surge to move ahead, 13-2.
The Wolverines twice cut their deficit to seven points before the Trojans expanded their lead to 37 points with 1 minute left in the first half. Morris Brown went nearly four minutes without a basket late in the half.
USC's largest lead was 46 points. The Wolverines shot 29 percent from the floor for the game.
