AGAINST USC


This will be only the fourth time Seton Hall and USC have met with the Women of Troy winning the prior three meetings. Most recently, the teams faced off at the Cancun Challenge in Mexico in 2021 with USC winning, 78-66.

SCOUTING USC


USC is coming off a strong 2022-23 season that featured a 21-10 final overall record and an 11-7 mark in Pac 12 play. The Women of Troy fell in the opening round of the Pac 12 Tournament, but still managed to earn an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They fell in the opening round to South Dakota State, 62-57, in overtime.

USC women's basketball welcomed the Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year to Troy, with the addition of heralded incoming freshman JuJu Watkins. In addition to All-Pac 12 Teamer Rayah Marshall, USC welcomes back guard Kayla Williams, who picked up 2023 Pac-12 All-Defensive Honorable Mention. USC also added four graduate transfers to the 2023-24 Trojan roster. Three — Kaitlyn Davis, McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla — were standouts in the Ivy League, and one — Roxane Makolo — boasts international experience with Team Canada.

The Trojans were picked to finish sixth in the 12-team Pac 12 Conference this season, according to the Preseason Coaches Poll.

So far this season, the Women of Troy have been better than advertised. They enter play at Baha Mar with a perfect 3-0 record and ranked 10th in the nation. USC opened the season by stunning No. 7 Ohio State in Las Vegas, 83-74. Since, they’ve recorded easy victories at home against Florida Gulf Coast and Le Moyne. Watkins currently leads the team with 28.3 points per game.

UP NEXT Seton Hall will continue play at the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Wednesday, Nov. 22 against East Carolina. Tip time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. That contest will also be available for FloHoops subscribers. Joe Matthews and Jon Heite will describe the action for WSOU FM.
