For the first time in a long time in the City of Angels, USC may be looking like the better team on the hardwood.

And yet, after seasons upon seasons of endless unforeseen roster turnover under fifth year head coach Andy Enfield, USC may finally have the depth chart in place to contend for a Pac-12 title. It’s now a question of how well the Trojans can manage some lofty expectations.
