⚔️ ONE BIG THING
The Trojan men’s basketball team will head back to LA with a perfect 3-0 record.
The boys completed the sweep of their summer tour with a nine point win in Dubrovnik over KK SC Derby, a Croatian professional team. Isaiah Collier and Kobe Johnson each continued to shine out on the floor, but the star of the game was none other than Harrison Hornery. The game’s hot hand finished the game 6 of 7 from deep, adding a clutch 18 points to help secure the win for the Trojans.
