USC vs USC

[fireford]

Should be a very compelling series.

They should have a trophy to play for every year like they do in football and call it "The Real USC Trophy" giving the winner bragging rights and temporary informal ownership of the USC name.

USC vs. USC: Trojans, Gamecocks set for series

The South Carolina and Southern California women's basketball teams will meet in a battle of "USC's" in a two-game non-conference series starting in November.

Only one USC.

Since they started in 1801....before there was a California.....they are the true USC but I always liked South Carolina or the Gamecocks. You can have USC.

It shows both...geez...that is no different than googling anything with the same name or abbreviation.

Just curious, does Univ. of South Carolina, any sports team, wear any uniform that says USC on it?
Please post a picture.

Juju’s other finalist was South Carolin. Should be a great rivalry as both squads are STACKED for the next few years

Not off the top of my head. Most sports hats/helmets typically have the Block C logo on it and the uniform typically have "Carolina", "South Carolina" or "Gamecocks" spelled out. There may be some throwback uniforms with USC on it but marketing-wise I know the university has shied away from using the USC logo. Baseball will wear hats with "SC" on them.

Fan gear is whole nother story as there are a ton of USC hats, shirts and other collectibles out there across South Carolina and nearby states.

There are also school chants with USC in it and the marching band has a tradition of spelling out USC during the football pregame ceremony. We also love screaming out USC during Sandstorm!

That's a whole 'nother fight you gotta have over a name w/ some folks to the north of you.

Are they? It looks like they both have slender recruiting classes -- Jazzy Davidson and Ayla McDowel -- and USC loses Iriafen, Akunwafo, Marshall and Von Oelhofen after this season. They have a bunch of talented guards, but unless Lindsay can find some bigs in the portal, they will be small up front. By contrast, USC will bring back Dauda, Tac, Edwards, Kitts and (hopefully) Watkins. They will be formidable up front even without any portal additions. And I have a feeling Dawn's backcourt will shine if Milaysia, Tessa and Maddy McDaniel rise to the occasion. I wouldn't bet against them.

The Gamecocks wore uniforms in the SEC Championship game that had “USC“ displayed vertically on the right side of the shorts and “WBB“ on the left side.

SC also has Agot Makeer coming in as well. Both Makeer and McDowell are McDAA’s and apart of the World roster for Nike Hoop Summitt this year and as a pair are considered a top 5 recruiting class. So I think SC is in way better shape than Southern Cal. They need to recruit some bigs out of the portal or I don’t see them being nearly as good as this year.

USC vs Little Carolina

I seem to remember a big win over the Blue Devils in November or December.

SC is likely preseason #1 or #2 with Kitts/Edwards/Johnson/Fulwiley/Raven as a likely starting 5. Not to mention Makeer, Dauda and Watkins off the bench.

Southern Cal loses posts but I think they’ll clean up nicely in the portal. Their backcourt is loaded with Davidson/Heckel/Smith/Watkins/Howell. I think they’re likely top 5.

Other top teams will likely be UCLA, UCONN, Texas, Duke, and LSU.

Just because you're the smaller version of Carolina doesn't mean you don't have a great WBB team

Id love a rematch in a few weeks
