He's a Dude: Jordan McLaughlin, freshman point guard. The consensus four-star point guard from California was rated as the 49th best player in the 2014 class by Rivals and has made an immediate impact in the Trojans' backcourt. The freshman leads the team in minutes (32.0), points (14.0), assists (5.4) and steals (1.6) this season.

Fun Fact: Until last year's game in Los Angeles, BC and USC had only met in the NCAA Tournament. The Trojans won both contests in 2001 and 2009. BC's game against USC in 2009, a 72-55 loss in the first round of the tournament, was the Eagles last NCAA Tournament appearance.
