The USC women's basketball team will have a new look on the court with the Big Ten logo gracing the hardwood with the Trojans making their conference debut during the 2024-25 season, but there will also be a major new addition to the lineup.

High-profile Stanford transfer Kiki Iriafen joined the Trojans during the transfer window and immediately elevated the roster.

A team that was already among the favorites to win the national championship improved their chances even more.

It's going to be interesting to see how immediate of an impact Iriafen has with her new squad, but there is no question USC is going to be one of the most entertaining teams to watch this season.
