10-5 Cal basketball heads to the Galen Center in Los Angeles to face Andy Enfield’s 15-1 USC Trojans. USC is ranked #25 in the AP poll, although Ken Pomeroy (kenpom.com) places them #49 which is actually two slots behind the Bears. The Trojans suffered their first defeat at Oregon on New Year’s Day, but the data suggest they’ve been a bit fortunate to win all of the rest. The Trojans left little doubt on Thursday against Stanford in coming away with a 72-56 victory, which was #100 in Enfield’s career.
I’ve visited the Galen Center thrice since it opened, and Cal has compiled a 2-1 record against the Trojans in those games.
