It is possible that the competition ends in a tie, but according to UCLABruins.com, if the Bruins and Trojans meet again in the NCAA College World Series, with a USC victory there would be a five point switch tying the competition at 90. But with the Bruins having won more head-to-head games, giving them the tie-breaker, the BMW Crosstown Cup is heading to Westwood!
