USC follows rough road swing with visit from struggling Cal

Southern California returns home to Los Angeles on Thursday after a trying road swing, hosting Pac-12 Conference cellar dweller California.

The Trojans (17-8, 9-5 Pac-12) suffered a dramatic setback to their NCAA Tournament aspirations with back-to-back losses at Oregon on Feb. 9, 78-60, and at Oregon State last Saturday, 61-58. The losses marked two of their lowest-scoring performances in conference play this season.
