Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs this season, but the Trojans are coming into this game with a three-game winning streak. They will be looking to extend their streak and maintain their momentum against the Golden Bears.


One player who has been instrumental in the Trojans' recent success is Joshua Morgan. Playing as a forward, Morgan has consistently performed at a high level in the previous three games. In his last game against Alabama State Hornets, he scored 7 points, had 2 assists, grabbed 7 rebounds, blocked 4 shots, and played for 19 minutes. His impressive performance helped lead the Trojans to victory.


Morgan's contributions on both ends of the court have been exceptional. He has shown great defensive skills with his shot-blocking ability and has been a force on the boards. Offensively, he has been efficient with his field goals percentage of 40% and has made an impact with his scoring and playmaking abilities.


However, Morgan is not the only standout player on the USC Trojans' roster. Harrison Hornery, Zach Brooker, Boogie Ellis, Bronny James, Kobe Johnson, Isaiah Collier, Oziyah Sellers, Arrinten Page, Vincent Iwuchukwu, Kijani Wright, JD Plough, and DJ Rodman have all made significant contributions in their previous games.


Looking at the overall performance of the USC Trojans over their last three games, they have shown consistency in their scoring and defensive efforts. Their field goals percentage has been solid, with an average of 43%. They have also been effective from the free-throw line, shooting at an average of 82%. On the defensive end, they have been successful in limiting their opponents' scoring opportunities.


On the other side of the court, the California Golden Bears will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses. Led by Grant Newell, Rodney Brown, Gus Larson, Devin Curtis, Fardaws Aimaq, Jaylon Tyson, Keonte Kennedy, Jalen Cone, Jalen Celestine, and Devin Askew, they have a talented roster that can pose a challenge to the Trojans.


In their previous games, the Golden Bears have shown flashes of brilliance. Players like Gus Larson and Fardaws Aimaq have displayed their rebounding prowess and ability to control the paint. Rodney Brown and Jaylon Tyson have been consistent scorers for the team.


As both teams prepare for this highly anticipated matchup, it will be interesting to see how they match up against each other. The USC Trojans will rely on Joshua Morgan's leadership and exceptional performance to guide them to victory. However, they cannot underestimate the talent and determination of the California Golden Bears.


Basketball fans can catch all the action live on the Pac-12 Network as these two teams battle it out on February 8th at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley.
