USC Basketball Earns NCAA Tournament Bid as No. 11 Seed

USC basketball is going dancing.

The Trojans will make their second-straight tournament appearance under head coach Andy Enfield as a No. 11 seed against a familiar opponent in the East Region play-in game, the Providence Friars.

Providence booted USC from the tournament last season, 70-69, in the first round with a dramatic last-second finish. The Trojans will get their shot at revenge in Dayton on Wednesday.

If the Trojans advance, they will face No. 6 seed SMU, who they beat earlier this season at the Galen Center.

USC was knocked out of the Pac-12 Tournament on Thursday after pushing UCLA to the brink.
