USC improved to 6-5 with the victory, but it has been an incredibly disappointing start to the season for the Trojans as they don’t come close to contending with the best in college basketball.

The Trojans have lost to UC Irvine, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 15 Gonzaga, Long Beach State and Auburn. If they have any hope of making the NCAA Tournament, they’re going to have to step it up over the coming weeks and months.

USC will be back in action for a road matchup against Oregon on Dec. 28 before facing Oregon State on Dec. 30.
