USC Women's Basketball: Expert Projects How Big Ten Move Will Affect Trojans In 2024

Very good timing here!

The college sports world has been in a frenzy over the past month with all of the school changing conferences and experts trying to access exactly how the landscape will look moving forward. When it was first announced some time ago that both UCLA and USC would be leaving the Pac-12 Conference and joining the Big Ten Conference, it sparked a movement that is still going on right now.

However, through all of the numbers, marketing deals and business conversations, it's easy to forget that the priority at the end of the day should be the athletes and the competition that they will be facing moving forward.

Your USC women's basketball team has been improving and after years of changing around the dynamics of their program, they have a group that will likely be able to hold their own against most schools CQMiles of Crimson Quarry believes that USC will be joining the Big Ten Conference at the perfect time.

"USC is on the rise. The Trojans qualified for their first NCAA tournament in nine years in 2023 and bring back a nightly double-double in wing Rayah Marshall. The addition of the nation’s best incoming freshman, former Sierra Canyon high school guard Judea “Juju” Watkins, ensures that USC will be ranked in every preseason poll this fall. Watkins and fellow top-100 recruit Malia Samuels will highlight the Trojans’ inaugural Big Ten roster next fall."
