LOS ANGELES – USC Men's Basketball has announced the non-conference schedule for the 2025-26 season. This schedule will feature six home games, four neutral site games, and one road game.
The Trojans will start the season with their first two games at home in the Galen Center. On opening night, USC will face Cal Poly on Monday, Nov. 3. For the next matchup, the Trojans will take on Manhattan on Sunday, Nov. 9.
From there, the Trojans will head to the Intuit Dome for neutral site contest against the Illinois State Redbirds, who won the College Basketball Invitational last season.
With the first three games under their belts, the Trojans will return to the Galen Center to take on the 2024-25 Sun Belt Conference Champions in Troy on Thursday, Nov. 20. This will be USC's only home game before the team heads to the Southwest Maui Invitational from Monday, Nov. 24, through Wednesday, Nov. 26. The Trojans will take on Boise State in the opening round of the tournament with potential to play Seton Hall or NC State in the following round.
Once USC returns to Los Angeles, the team will hit the road again. This time, they will head to the University of San Diego to face Coach Musselman's alma mater on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
The final three games of the non-conference slate will all be played at the Galen Center. The first of these three games will be on Sunday, Dec. 14, as the Trojans host former Pac-12 foe Washington State. Three days later, USC will be back in the Galen Center on Wednesday, Dec. 17, to take on UTSA. From there, USC will round out the non-conference schedule with a Sunday game against Brown on Dec. 21.
Along with the non-conference games listed above, the Trojans will play two exhibition games on the road to prepare for the season. The first of these will be played at Loyola Marymount on Saturday, Oct. 18, with the second exhibition taking place at Grand Canyon on Saturday, Oct. 25.
