USC begins demanding part of schedule Sunday against Texas A&M
No. 10-ranked USC enters the most demanding stretch of its nonconference season with the highest-ranked opponent on its schedule, No. 16 Texas A&M.
How rare is a matchup like this? This will be only the second matchup between ranked teams at the Galen Center.
These two teams met a year ago, when the Trojans defeated the Aggies, 65-63, on Chimezie Metu’s go-ahead dunk with 15 seconds left.
The Trojans (4-0) rolled over Lehigh on Wednesday. Jonah Mathews had 18 points and seven rebounds.
Texas A&M (5-0) hasn’t won by fewer than 11 points and has an 88-65 victory over No. 23 West Virginia. Forward D.J. Hogg averages 17.2 points per game. The team has made more than half of its field-goal attempts.
Game time is 7 p.m. at Galen Center. The game will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks and can be heard on 710 AM radio.
