In a thrilling matchup, the USC Trojans pulled off a dramatic triple-overtime victory against the Troy Trojans, with guard Jordan Marsh nailing the game-winning three-pointer to seal the win.
The significance of the win goes beyond the highlight moment: per recent reporting, USC now ranks third among all college programs in producing NBA players, trailing only the storied programs at Kentucky and Duke.
For a team that historically rides on high expectations, this game sends a message about resilience and depth. With Marsh stepping up in crunch time and the program continuing its pro-pipeline momentum, the Trojans are signaling they’re ready for big things this season.
What to keep an eye on:
How the coaching staff leverages the program’s NBA-production reputation in recruiting and development.
Whether USC can maintain consistency — one thrilling win is good, but a sustained push defines legacy programs.
The upcoming schedule: Tough non-conference tests will help gauge whether USC is truly on the rise or just riding momentum.
In short: This win has potential to become a turning point. If USC can match feats like this one with a string of strong performances, the Trojans could be writing a bigger headline run in men’s college basketball.
