Jaiden Delaire scored 14 points, Harrison Ingram added 12 — including the go-ahead layup — and Stanford completed its first sweep of Southern California in seven seasons, upsetting the 15th-ranked Trojans 64-61 on Thursday night.
The game was tied at 60 before Ingram's layup with 33 seconds remaining. The 6-foot-7 freshman, who leads the Cardinal in scoring and rebounding, said they added the play that led to the decisive basket during practice last week.
"It was a high ball screen. Get the ball in the high post, put a shooter in both corners and attack the rim," Ingram said.
USC's Isaiah Mobley got to the line on a loose ball foul with 14 seconds left but missed the second free throw. Brandon Angel hit his two foul shots three seconds later to put the Cardinal up by three.

The Trojans had a chance to send it to overtime but Mobley missed a 3-pointer with one second left.
"I felt like I got a good look on the last shot. I didn't see Boogie (Ellis) open in the corner. I had a good look, it didn't go down," said Mobley, who was held to nine points.
The game was similar to the first meeting, which the Cardinal won 75-69 on Jan. 11. Stanford made nine 3-pointers again, limited USC's offensive rebounds and found a way to break through in the end.
