As UCLA guard Tyger Campbell's long last-second 3-pointer clanked off the rim to close out No. 21-ranked USC's 67-64 win over No. 12 UCLA -- the Trojans' fifth straight win in the rivalry series -- much of the student section poured onto the court to celebrate with the players, who embraced moment.
"It was crazy. I've never been in one of those situations. You could just feel all the energy and obviously it all burst with everybody coming down and storming the court. You could see it on everybody's face. ... It's honestly one of the best basketball experiences I've ever been a part of," said guard Drew Peterson, who was the star of the night with 27 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks and 4 assists.

"What an incredible atmosphere," coach Andy Enfield said. "Our student section, our marketing department's done a great job getting our students excited. The students are supporting us. We had just a tremendous crowd. I think that's why we were able to pull it out in the second half. It gave us tremendous energy, which we were lacking playing without fans a few weeks ago and then 50 percent [capacity].
"This was as good an atmosphere I've ever been [in]. I've been coaching a long time -- 27 years, 1994 was my first job, Milwaukee Bucks -- and this was as good an atmosphere as I can remember for a home crowd, especially our home crowd."
