USC and UCLA will not meet until January 25 in the Galen Center, but there are several opportunities to catch the Trojans at home before then. USC hosts Pepperdine on Sunday (7 p.m.), Troy on December 17 (7:30 p.m.) and Cornell on December 19 (7:30 p.m.) to complete the non-conference home schedule. The Trojans travel to the Oregon schools to begin Pac-12 play and then come home for Stanford on January 5 and Cal on January 8.
