The Midwest will meet the West Coast this week as No. 8 Iowa travels to Los Angeles to take on USC for a Big Ten showdown.
In the absence of star guard JuJu Watkins, USC has struggled to find a groove this season. The Trojans are sitting at 11-9, and have already tallied six losses to conference opponents like Minnesota, Maryland, and most recently Michigan. An upset win could be huge for the team's morale.
No. 8 Iowa is climbing the ranks each week with solid team wins. The Hawkeyes are on a victory streak of eight consecutive games, many of which have been over ranked Big Ten squads. In Sunday's matchup against No. 12 Ohio State, Iowa underclassmen Addie Deal and Ava Heiden combined for a killer 38 points.
