USC women’s basketball plays Ohio State in a big-time Big Ten showdown this Saturday evening in the Galen Center. The game will be shown on network television, with Fox in town to broadcast the game. USC knows it must win to stay one game behind UCLA in the Big Ten. If the Trojans lose, their Big Ten championship hopes will take a huge hit. They will also lose ground in the battle for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. This is a main-event game with very high stakes. For a game this big, we had to turn to our USC women’s basketball analyst, Cece Clay, on our latest edition of the Trojans: Wired USC women’s basketball podcast.
Here’s the short story connected to this game, as we wrote on Thursday:
“After Wednesday’s action, here’s how the Big Ten women’s basketball standings look at the top of the conference: UCLA is 10-0, followed by 10-1 USC, 9-2 Ohio State, and 8-3 Michigan State. Three of USC’s next four games are against all three of those other teams: OSU first, UCLA second, and then Michigan State on February 19. This is it. This is the biggest two-week stretch of the regular season in the Big Ten.”
The importance of this game is self-evident. How does USC go about beating Ohio State? Cece, on her new USC women’s basketball YouTube channel — which we invite you to subscribe to — went over this game in a detailed preview. Watch and listen to our USC-Ohio State women’s basketball preview, and be sure to like Cece’s videos at her YouTube channel. Cece will be at the USC-Ohio State game and will have plenty of postgame coverage on Sunday, the day after the game.
