The No. 2 USC Trojans play in the Big Ten Tournament against the Michigan Wolverines. Saturday's meeting is the first of the season for the teams.

Kiki Iriafen leads the top-seeded Trojans with 25 points and 11 rebounds in an 82-70 victory over the fifth-seeded Wolverines

The software, launched March 1 by four juniors at the University of Michigan, will expand to USC next. Even though USC and Michigan are similar “in terms of student population and college town vibe,” they will conduct outreach to USC students to adapt the app’s features to meet Trojans’ preferences, co-founder Armand Gago said.

With a 25-point, 11-rebound double-double, Iriafen was pivotal in generating the momentum the top-seeded Trojans rode in the final five minutes to pull away from what was ultimately a down-to-the-wire contest.

And while both Michigan and Michigan State earned double-byes into Friday's quarterfinal round, the Spartans have seven straight wins, an emerging star in guard Jase Richardson, and a team surging up the rankings and into the title conversations.

Indianapolis — Kiki Iriafen scored 17 of her 25 points in the second half Saturday, JuJu Watkins added 20 points and each pulled down 11 rebounds to send No. 2 Southern California past fifth-seeded Michigan, 82-70, and into the Big Ten championship game.

In the end, Michigan just ran out of gas. Playing their third game in as many days, the Wolverines hung tough with top-seeded USC for three quarters Saturday before falling 82-70 in the Big Ten women’s tournament semifinals.
