How did USC’s women’s basketball team fare over the past month?

The Women of Troy had three different players lead the team in scoring during the winning streak. On defense, they’ve held opposing teams to under 20% shooting from three and under 30% shooting from the field overall, showing focus on both sides of the ball.

The Trojans’ three victories have all come in games against teams outside the Power 5 conferences. Saturday night’s tilt with the Wolf Pack will not only be the first road game for the Trojans, but also the first game where they are not favored by double-digits.

Okongwu’s double-double lead USC past Portland

Okongwu led the Trojans with 20 points in Friday night’s game, despite only playing 21 minutes due to foul trouble. The only thing that could stop freshman forward Onyeka Okongwu was his own aggressiveness. Otherwise, University of Portland’s defense had no answer for the dominant interior presence. He also added ten rebounds — five of them on the offensive end, which makes three double-doubles in his first three collegiate games.
