USC Basketball: Trojans Facing Tough Opponent In Oregon State

Will the Trojans fall below .500?

Things haven't exactly gone according to plan for your USC Trojans men's basketball program, even before the start of the season (the women's club, led by No. 1 overall high school recruit JuJu Watkins out of Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, is another story entirely). 

Four-star freshman recruit Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest during a Galen Center morning workout in July, and continues to play through a minutes a restriction in a limited role off the bench.

Five-star freshman recruit Isaiah Collier can't stop fouling people, but he has otherwise been the promising two-way threat he was advertised, as the No. 1 high school recruit in his own class out of Murrieta, Georgia.

USC as a whole has yet to really develop much of a flow. Andy Enfield's team is currently a middling 6-6 on the season.

The team faces off against a Pac-12 rival today, the Oregon State Beavers, now 8-4 after having fallen to the UCLA Bruins Thursday. 

The action tips off on the road, in Corvallis, Oregon's Gill Coliseum, at 7 p.m. PT.  USC has gone 1-2 in this current four-game road trip. Things wrap up with this final matchup of the calendar year. Here's hoping the Trojans can pull off a W.
