USC (17-18, 7-13 Big Ten)
Coach Eric Musselman and the Trojans had a rough first year in the Big Ten. One of the lone bright spots was a home win against eventual league champion Michigan State. Starting his second season in Los Angeles, Musselman has completely rebuilt the roster using the transfer portal. Ten of the 13 new players come from other schools. The Trojans are likely still a season or two away from being able to compete for a league championship, but if things break the right way, they could return to the NCAA Tournament.
