LOS ANGELES, CA – Looking to rebound against USC, No. 8 Arizona Basketball (24-5, 13-5) will have a battle against the host Trojans. 

Welp, No. 8 Arizona Basketball came crashing back down to reality. Despite winning back-to-back games against Utah and Colorado, the Wildcats were humbled on Senior Day as Arizona shockingly lost to ASU.

However, Arizona cannot lose focus now as the Wildcats take on a talented USC team for their last road trip of the season.

Coming into this one, the Trojans are a skilled and well-coached team, and although the Wildcats are the slight favorites in this one, this is going to be a significant challenge for the Wildcats, and Arizona will have to bring the intensity if they are going to get the win.

Arizona cannot get complacent as they did against ASU, and if Arizona is going to get a win this weekend, their matchup against the Trojans is more likely between the two games.

The Wildcats will need to start hot and not let the Trojans get rolling otherwise it is going to be a long night for the Cats!

With Arizona Basketball preparing for USC, here is how you can watch and follow their game.

Arizona Game Preview:

Resuming conference play against USC, Arizona looks to get back on track after losing to rival Arizona State on Senior Day this past Saturday in shocking fashion.
