With the new season approaching, the preseason top 25 polls were released on Tuesday. The USC Trojans landed in both of them. USC is No. 21 in the preseason edition of the USA TODAY Sports women’s basketball coaches poll.
College basketball season is almost here, and the Trojans have a lot of talent in both men’s and women’s basketball. Both teams made the NCAA Tournament last March, although both teams lost in the first round.
The Trojans are one of five Pac-12 teams to make the preseason poll, with the others being Utah, UCLA, Stanford, and Colorado.
There is a lot of hype for the women’s team once again, and being ranked to start the season is certainly a good sign.
The women’s team came in at No. 21 in the poll. Here are the full results of the poll:
