Last week, the USC baseball team wrapped up its regular season with a three-game series at Oregon. After dropping two of the three games in Eugene, the Trojans finished the year with an overall record of 42-14 and a 20-10 mark in conference play.
Now, it is on to the Big Ten Tournament for the Trojans. USC earned the No. 4 seed in the tournament, meaning that the Trojans will have a bye through to the quarterfinals.
USC and Oregon actually finished tied for third in the conference standings. However, the Ducks earned the tiebreaker by winning the head-to-head series between the two teams, giving them the No. 3 seed, while USC fell to No. 4.
The Trojans will open tournament play on Friday. They will not know their opponent until at least Wednesday, as teams will have to win two games in the preliminary round in order to advance.
The good news for the Trojans is that they will have a rest advantage over their first opponent in Omaha. The bad news, however, is that the game will be played at 7:00 a.m. Pacific time/9:00 a.m. local time on Friday, meaning that it will be a difficult body clock game for USC.
With a victory in the quarterfinals, the Trojans would advance to the semifinals on Saturday, where they would likely face No. 1 seed UCLA. After getting swept by their crosstown rivals during the regular season, it would be an opportunity for USC to get some revenge in Omaha.
