USC Trojans Set to Clash with Colorado Buffaloes at Galen Center

As the USC Trojans prepare to host the Colorado Buffaloes at the Galen Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The Trojans have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, with a notable victory and some tough losses.

In their last game against Long Beach State, despite leading for most of the match and scoring an impressive 45 points in the first half, they couldn't maintain their momentum into overtime, ultimately falling short by five points. This loss highlighted some areas for improvement, particularly in three-point shooting where they only hit 23 percent from beyond the arc.

However, there were positives to take away from that game as well. The Trojans demonstrated strong defensive capabilities with 13 steals and also showed resilience on offense with a solid 58 percent two-point field goal percentage. Their ability to convert inside was complemented by an aggressive rebounding strategy that saw them grab 16 offensive rebounds.

Looking further back provides more context for USC's current form. Against Auburn Tigers, despite putting up a respectable 75 points and maintaining an impressive free throw percentage of 81 percent, turnovers proved costly as they lost by a significant margin due largely to Auburn capitalizing on these mistakes.

Against Alabama State Hornets though, USC showcased what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders – securing a comfortable win while dominating both offensively and defensively across various metrics including blocks (6), total rebounds (52), and assists (16).

As we approach this upcoming matchup against Colorado Buffaloes at home where fan support is always robust – it will be crucial for USC to tighten up their three-point shooting while continuing to exploit their strengths in rebounding and interior scoring. Fans should expect an intense battle as both teams vie for supremacy on court.

The game is scheduled for February 18th at Galen Center in Los Angeles; tip-off is set for February 17th at 7:00 PM Pacific Time. For those unable to attend in person, you can catch all the action live on ESPN2 channel number 209.
