The USC men's basketball team, coming off its second trip to the postseason in three seasons under fourth-year head coach Henry Bibby, begins exhibition play Friday (Nov. 5) when it faces the California All-Stars at the Lyon Center on the USC campus at 7:30 p.m.

The Trojans, who made their sixth postseason appearance of the 1990s when they faced Wyoming in the first round of the 1999 NIT, finished 15-13 overall and 7-11 (tied for seventh) in the Pacific-10 Conference last season.

After opening the exhibition schedule against the California All-Stars on Friday, USC will play one more exhibition game against the Double Pump All-Stars on Nov. 13 at the Lyon Center at 7:30 p.m.

The Trojans open the regular season on Nov. 19 when they host Cal State Northridge at 7 p.m. at the Sports Arena.
