KEY GAME INFORMATION
USC: Last season: 26-10.
Who's gone: F Charles Buggs.
Who's back: F Bennie Boatwright. The junior was dominant after returning from a knee injury that cost him 17 games last season, averaging 15.1 points and 4.5 rebounds. G Jordan McLaughlin. He could break the school's career assists mark after finishing third in Pac-12 last year. F Chimezie Metu. Had a breakout sophomore year, averaging 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. G Elijah Stewart. Had 23 games in double figures last year. G Shaqquan Aaron. The junior started 20 games last season, averaging 7.6 points. He had a career-high 23 in a home win over rival UCLA.
Who's new: G Charles O'Bannon Jr. The highly touted recruit from Las Vegas is the son of the former UCLA star who led the Bruins to the 1995 national championship. G-F Jordan Usher. He can help the team on offense and defense. F Victor Uyaelunmo helped lead his Miami high school to the Florida state title.
The Skinny: The Trojans have their top eight scorers back, making them a title threat to traditional Pac-12 powers Arizona and UCLA. Boatwright, Metu and Stewart all withdrew their names from the NBA draft to stay in school. The Trojans' 26 wins last season were a school record and they have serious potential to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, where they last appeared in the Sweet 16 in 2007. There's a cloud over the program, however, with associate head coach Tony Bland on administrative leave after being accused of accepting $13,000 to help steer two players to certain business representatives. USC is conducting an internal investigation.
PREVIEW
USC's balance will be tough for Lehigh to counter
 

LOS ANGELES -- A variety of offensive weapons have impacted each of the first three games of the season by No. 10-ranked USC -- all wins. That balance will be difficult for Lehigh to defend when the teams meet Wednesday at Galen Center.

The Trojans survived a scare on the road Nov. 19 at Vanderbilt, needing overtime to hold off the Commodores, 93-89. In that contest -- in which USC rallied from a double-digit deficit -- guard Jordan McLaughlin's 3-point shooting was the newest element of the offense to emerge.

He knocked down 5 of 11 from behind the arc, including the game-tying shot to force overtime, which McLaughlin made off the dribble when freed up on a ball screen.

McLaughlin, hitting a career-high 35 points, gives USC a different leading scorer in each of its first three contests, and it marked the second time in as many outings that a Trojan hit a career-high. In a reversal of roles, forward Bennie Boatwright -- typically a 3-point shooter -- scored a personal best 28 points Nov. 13 against North Dakota State while hitting only one basket from deep.

Forward Chimezie Metu scored 18 points to lead the way in the Nov. 10 season opener against Cal State Fullerton.

"Now that we got a more experienced team, a deeper team, it gives us an advantage over our opponents," McLaughlin told the L.A. Times. "So we've just got to put it all together."

Offensive balance is a trait USC shares with Lehigh, a team off to its best start in nine years.

The Mountain Hawks (3-1) had six scorers in double figures in a 95-70 rout of Eastern University on Sunday.

"I was pleased because we had six guys in double figures and had so many assists," Lehigh coach Brett Reed said in his post-game press conference. "The ball was being shared and in the type of environment where guys can sometimes get a little bit greedy, so it was really good to see unselfishness from them."

Five Lehigh players average between 10.5 and 15.8 points through the Mountain Hawks' first four games. Guard Lance Tejada leads the way with 15.8 points per game, and is shooting 44 percent from behind the 3-point line.

Lehigh's offensive balance keys a clean, methodical style that USC will aim to disrupt with its pressing defensive approach. The Mountain Hawks rank No. 9 nationally in turnover percentage, and No. 7 in steals allowed per possession according to KenPom.com metrics. In contrast, the aggressive Trojans rank No. 40 nationally in the percentage of opponent possessions resulting in turnovers (23.9).

USC can expect a look similar to that of North Dakota State, which played tough with the Trojans before USC pulled away to a 75-65 win. The Bison took a five-point lead midway through the second half, often waiting until under 10 seconds left on the shot clock before attempting field goals.

Coach Andy Enfield's switch to a half-court zone both against North Dakota State and Vanderbilt proved pivotal. The Trojans trailed the Commodores by 14 with 3:33 left in the first half, but USC's zone forced four of 16 turnovers for the game in that final stretch to take a lead at intermission.
