Your Trojans will be on primetime next Saturday. The game will also air on ESPN/ESPN2.

The Trojans have two games left before their matchup against their cross-town rivals; however, those are always the biggest and most looked forward to, especially within the fanbase and schools. The Bruins aren't the same team from years past. They are on a free-fall, losing eight of their last ten matchups, and sit at 7-10, eighth in the Pac-12.

The Trojans aren't any better, sitting at 8-9 as of January 16th and eighth in the Pac-12 as well. Both teams aren't playing their best basketball thus far, but you could throw all that out the window in rivalry games.

The Galen Center will be rocking. You cannot miss this one, as it will be another classic in this storied rivalry.
