USC Trojans

The USC Trojans play home games at the Galen Center on the University of Southern California's campus in downtown Los Angeles, sharing a fanbase and a city with crosstown rival UCLA. Despite living in the shadow of the Bruins' basketball dynasty, USC has produced its share of NBA talent and memorable Los Angeles hoops moments. The Trojans now compete in the Big Ten after decades in the Pac-12. It's a program defined as much by the players it's sent to the pros as by championship banners.

USC basketball reached the Final Four twice, in 1940 and 1954, but has never won an NCAA men's championship. The program has produced NBA stars across generations, and more recently became a launching pad for top draft picks in the modern one-and-done era. USC was a longtime member of the Pacific Coast Conference and Pac-12 before joining the Big Ten in 2024 as part of conference realignment.
