The University of Southern California's men's basketball program endured a lackluster 2025‑26 campaign, finishing well below expectations and missing the postseason.
Rebuilding the Roster
In response, the Trojans have overhauled their roster, adding a mix of experienced transfers and highly touted freshmen to inject depth and versatility.
The upcoming 2026‑27 schedule promises a dramatic shift, with USC slated to meet every Big Ten rival at least once, including a double‑header against West Coast counterparts UCLA, Oregon and Washington.
Home games will host Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin, while the team will travel to face Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Rutgers.
The full slate, encompassing non‑conference matchups and conference play, will be released later this summer, giving fans a clearer picture of the road ahead.
