Work to do...
The Trojans would benefit from an upset-free Championship Week, but they always control their own destiny at STAPLES this weekend.Â
On Thursday at Noon (click for tickets!), #4 USC will play #5 Cal in a must-win game. If they do beat the Bears, the Trojans will likely square off with Arizona again in a classic semifinal.
If the Trojans make Saturday's final, they should be assured a bid win or lose.
Quality wins and a hot finish have USC wrestling for an NCAA nod. (Photo by Pierson Clair)
