Starts, scores 19 Arenas closed with 19 points (5-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), a season-high seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 91-72 loss to Washington.

Impact The Trojans were playing their first game without Chad Baker-Mazara, who left the program on Sunday. Arenas came off the bench for the first time in Saturday's loss to Nebraska, but was back in the starting lineup against the Huskies. In his last eight games, the 6-6 freshman has provided 17.8 points despite hitting just 35.7 percent of his field goals. The Trojans hope to end a six-game slide on Saturday against UCLA. Arenas had 10 points and four rebounds in the Feb. 24 loss to the Bruins.

Scores 14 off bench Arenas logged 14 points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 82-67 loss to Nebraska.

Impact It was the first time since his Jan. 21 debut that Arenas came off the bench for the Trojans, and the end result was a four-game scoring high. The freshman is plenty capable of scoring in bunches, but it hasn't always led to team success. The Trojans have now lost five games in a row, arguably playing themselves onto the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. They'll get a chance to bounce back Wednesday at Washington.

Active against Oregon Arenas (leg) will be available for Saturday's game against Oregon.

Impact Arenas, who exited Wednesday's loss against Illinois with a leg injury, will return to the court during Saturday's showdown with the Ducks. The 6-foot-6 freshman has been incredible since making his season debut, averaging 14.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and one steal across eight starts. Arenas will look to help the Trojans keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive with a win over the Ducks this weekend.

Game-time call Friday Arenas (leg) will be a game-time call for Saturday's game against Oregon, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Arenas left Wednesday's game against Illinois with a leg injury in the second half, and it remains to be seen if he'll recover in time to suit up Saturday. The freshman has been limited to eight starts this season, averaging 14.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 27.4 minutes per game.

Exits game Wednesday Arenas (leg) exited Wednesday's game against Illinois early in the second half with an apparent right-leg injury, Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Arenas suffered a right-leg injury in the opening minutes of the second half during Wednesday's game against the Fighting Illini. The 6-foot-6 freshman was spotted getting attention from USC's trainers on the sideline. With Illinois up over 20 points, it appears unlikely that the team will risk Arenas' re-entry into the game.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Arenas (illness) isn't listed on USC's injury report Wednesday.

Impact Arenas was deemed a game-time call for the Trojans' clash with Illinois, but the star freshman guard isn't listed on the injury report ahead of tip-off. That's huge for USC's chances against the Illini, as he averages 15.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists this season -- although he's scored at least 24 points in three straight games.

GTD with illness Wednesday Arenas is sick and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Illinois

Impact Arenas has started the Trojans' last seven games and been on a tear as of late, but he could be at risk of missing an important conference matchup. The freshman guard's true status should be determined prior to tip-off, and it's unknown whether he'll be depleted physically if he does end up playing. He's averaging 26 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last three outings.

"First round pick," "He play like Gilbert Arenas": College hoops fans react as Alijah Arenas puts up 25 points vs. Ohio State after major injury USC star Alijah Arenas had a solid game against Ohio State on Wednesday, but his team suffered an 89-82 loss at the Value City Arena in Columbus.

FEBRUARY 12 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Stays hot as Trojans fall Arenas amassed 25 points (6-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 12-16 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 89-82 loss to Ohio State.

Impact Arenas has now fully arrived, if that was still in question. The freshman with tantalizing talent has now notched 24-plus points in three straight games. Though he struggled from distance in Columbus, he was the Trojans' leading scorer once again, largely due to his ability to get to the rim with ease; he knocked down 12-of-16 free throws, a career high. As USC rides out a furious race to remain on the NCAA Tournament bubble, expect Arenas to have the greenest of lights moving forward.
