USC Trojans receive a significant boost with guard Rodney Rices return for the 2026-27 season, following a challenging 2025-26 campaign. Rice, their top scorer, averaged 20.3 points, 6 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game before injury. The team, led by coach Eric Musselman, struggled with a 12-1 start, followed by an 8-game losing streak, missing the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year. With Rices return and the departure of Chad Baker-Mazara, freshman Alijah Arenas, son of NBA star Gilbert Arenas, is expected to step up. Musselman plans to strengthen the teams depth through the transfer portal, aiming for an NCAA Tournament berth next season.
