USC women's basketball to face NC State in Charlotte in November
Add another game to USC women's basketball's 2025-2026 nonconference schedule. Last week, it was announced that the Trojans will face NC State in Charlotte on November 9. The game will be played at Spectrum Center, home of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets. NC State is coming off its second consecutive trip to the Sweet 16. In 2024, the Wolfpack made it to the Final Four, where they fell to eventual national champion South Carolina. Advertisement The matchup is one of several high-profile games the Women of Troy have scheduled for next season. USC will also host UConn at Galen Center and travel to South Bend to face Notre Dame. In addition, the Trojans will take on South Carolina at Arena (formerly known as Staples Center) in Downtown Los Angeles. Right now, the state of USC's roster for the start of next season is very much in the air. The Trojans will likely be without superstar Juju Watkins—who suffered an ACL injury in the NCAA Tournament—for a good chunk of next season. USC was also very active in the transfer portal, losing several key players, but also bringing in a big addition, UCLA's Londynn Jones.

UCLA 3-point specialist Londynn Jones transfers to rival USC
After three seasons at UCLA, guard Londynn Jones is trading in her powder blue and gold and heading to the Bruins' rival, Southern California. Jones announced in an Instagram post Monday that she is transferring to USC. "Best of both worlds, LA... I'm still here," the native of Riverside, Calif., wrote. Jones made a UCLA program-record 87 3-pointers on 36.6 percent shooting from the arc in 2023-24. She followed that up with another 72 treys in 2024-25, making 35.1 percent of her attempts. Jones averaged 9.6 points per game in 108 games (60 starts) for the Bruins, including 8.5 ppg last season over 37 games (31 starts). She was an All-Big Ten honorable mention. UCLA went 34-3 in 2024-25 and won the Big Ten tournament by defeating USC 72-67 in the championship game. The Bruins were the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and reached the Final Four, where they lost to eventual national champion UConn. USC, meanwhile, also earned a No. 1 seed in the tournament and fell to UConn in the Elite Eight. The Trojans lost national Player of the Year JuJu Watkins to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the second round of the tournament. If Watkins returns to action in 2025-26, she would count Jones as a teammate. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved
