USC Trojans Set to Battle Arizona State Sun Devils at Desert Financial Arena

As the USC Trojans prepare to face off against the Arizona State Sun Devils at Desert Financial Arena, fans are eager to see if the team can maintain their recent performance trends. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 20th, is expected to be a thrilling encounter in Tempe.

The Trojans have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games. They secured a solid victory against Alabama State Hornets with a score of 79-59, showcasing their ability to dominate both halves and out-rebound their opponents significantly with 52 rebounds compared to the Hornets' 39. Their shooting from beyond the arc was also impressive at 37 percent.

However, consistency has been an issue as evidenced by their subsequent game against Auburn Tigers where they fell short with a score of 75-91. Despite maintaining a field goal percentage of 40 percent and improving free throw accuracy to approximately 81 percent, turnovers were problematic as they recorded fifteen - contributing to fewer points off turnovers than Auburn.

In another tight match that went into overtime against Long Beach State Beach, USC displayed resilience but ultimately lost by five points. They managed an assist-turnover ratio under one and struggled from the three-point line hitting only approximately 23 percent of attempts.

Desert Financial Arena will present its own challenges; however, USC's ability to rebound effectively and generate fast break opportunities could be key factors in this matchup. The team's defense will need tightening up though if they wish to contain Arizona State's offense and control the pace of the game.

Fans can catch all the action on FOX as these two teams go head-to-head on January 20th at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe at what promises to be an exciting evening for college basketball enthusiasts.
