USC hoops is heating up with early NCAA Tournament buzz—projected as a six seed in the West, a major leap after missing the tourney three straight years. Key returning guards Rodney Rice and Alijah Arenas, plus a loaded recruiting class featuring three McDonald’s All-Americans and high-impact transfers like KJ Lewis and Eric Reibe, could spark a surprise run. Despite a slight dip in ESPN’s latest bracketology, a six seed is a strong start for a team that’s been on the outside. The Big Ten’s stacked—Michigan, Illinois, Michigan State, and Purdue all ranked higher—but USC’s got the talent and coaching to make noise, especially if they can stay healthy and rise to the challenge in conference play. This season’s all about proving they belong.

USC hoops is heating up after a tough year, with Coach Musselman reloading the roster via the transfer portal and bringing back key players Alijah Arenas, Rodney Rice, and Jacob Cofie. Early CBS Sports bracketology projects USC as a No. 7 seed, facing NC State in the first round — a huge boost for both the Trojans and the Big Ten, which could send 12 teams to the tournament. The real X-factor? UConn transfer Eric Reibe, a national championship-caliber center who could mentor the Ratliff twins and anchor a dominant frontcourt, making USC a serious deep-run threat.
