Xavier Ranked Fourth Take On The Trojans

The University of Southern California Trojans visit the Cintas Center with a 5-2 record.

Michael Cooper's squad is not ranked but is receiving votes in the latest Associated Press poll.  USC boasts six McDonald's All-Americans.  Juniors Ashley Corral, Jackie Gamelos and Briana Gilbreath won the honors along with sophomores Stefanie Gilbreath and Christina Marinacci.  Freshman Cassie Harberts also was honored.

The Trojans were defeated by #5 Duke 75-50 on November 15.

Xavier moved to fourth in both the AP and ESPN/Coaches poll, leaping Tennessee, who suffered a loss to Georgetown 68-59, on November 27 at the Virgin Island's Tournament.

Xavier defeated USC 81-71 last season in overtime at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.
