Southern California will take the court Thursday, Jan 12, in its first home game since Dec. 18, while trying to snap a Pac-12 Conference losing streak when it welcomes Colorado to Los Angeles.

The Trojans (11–5, 3–2 Pac-12) won seven straight from Nov. 30–Dec. 30, but dropped their last two at the end of a three-game conference road swing. USC fell behind early at Washington State on Jan. 1 and could never rally in an 81-71 defeat—the Trojans’ first loss to the Cougars since 2013.
