USC will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak when it hits the road for a non-conference matchup with Alabama State.
The Trojans have not yet registered a win in December, losing to Gonzaga, Long Beach State and Auburn this month and dropping to 5-5 overall. The one piece of good news: Highly touted guard Bronny James is slowly working his way back into basketball shape after he suffered cardiac arrest this past summer and missed the start of the 2023-24 season.
"He's improved, but it's a little unfair to him to be judging him every possession right now. ... He's a freshman, and he's been out for five months," USC coach Andy Enfield said after James logged 14 minutes in the loss to Auburn. "It's very, very challenging for him. But we anticipate he'll be a much better player by the middle of the season than he is now."
Can James take another step forward and help the Trojans defeat the Hornets on Tuesday?
