Add another game to USC women’s basketball’s 2025-2026 nonconference schedule. Last week, it was announced that the Trojans will face NC State in Charlotte on November 9. The game will be played at Spectrum Center, home of the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets.
NC State is coming off its second consecutive trip to the Sweet 16. In 2024, the Wolfpack made it to the Final Four, where they fell to eventual national champion South Carolina.

The matchup is one of several high-profile games the Women of Troy have scheduled for next season. USC will also host UConn at Galen Center and travel to South Bend to face Notre Dame. In addition, the Trojans will take on South Carolina at Crytpo.com Arena (formerly known as Staples Center) in Downtown Los Angeles.
Right now, the state of USC’s roster for the start of next season is very much in the air. The Trojans will likely be without superstar Juju Watkins—who suffered an ACL injury in the NCAA Tournament—for a good chunk of next season. USC was also very active in the transfer portal, losing several key players, but also bringing in a big addition, UCLA’s Londynn Jones.
