A BIG WEEK FOR USC

The Trojans haven't been ranked over the last five weeks since being No. 21 in early April. 

But last week was huge for USC. With their sweep of Arizona State, the Trojans improved to 31-20-1. It's only the second time since 2005 that USC has won 30 games in a season. 

The Trojans are 15-11 in conference play, their most Pac-12 wins since 2016. The team clinched a top-four league with the sweep as well. 

USC plays at Loyola Marymount on Tuesday before finishing the regular season with three road games against Arizona. The Pac-12 Tournament begins next week in Scottsdale.
