The Trojans went 22-11 during the 2022-23 season, including a 14-6 record in Pac-12 play which tied for second in the conference. USC also advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season. It was the Trojans' fourth consecutive 20-win season, a school record for back-to-back 20-win seasons. The Trojans return leading scorer and All-Pac-12 guard Boogie Ellis and have added the No. 4 ranked recruiting class in the country, which includes the consensus No. 1 overall player, guard Isaiah Collier.
USC will be opening up away from the Galen Center for the first time since it began the 2013-14 season at Utah State on Nov. 8, 2013. USC last played a neutral site game to open the season on Nov. 27, 1987 when it played North Carolina at the Central Fidelity Holiday tournament in Richmond, Va.
USC will be playing a strong Kansas State team which won 26 games last season and reached the Elite 8 under 2022-23 Naismith College Coach of the Year Jerome Tang. USC has a 1-4 all-time record against Kansas State, last playing the Wildcats on March 20, 2008 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
