USC’s women’s basketball team currently sits at 6-6 following a slow start to the season. After defeating LMU in their season opener, the Trojans dropped their first four games of Pac-12 play, forcing them to play catch-up from the get-go.
Head coach Mark Trakh’s squad had a similar slow start last season, dropping their first five conference games before picking up three straight wins.
This season, the Trojans again responded well to an early rough patch. They currently enjoy a three-game winning streak in conference play and have won four of their last five against Pac-12 opponents after starting 0-4. In its last week of action, USC picked up an overtime win against Washington State before falling just short of a second-half comeback in a disappointing loss to UC Riverside.
