The USC men's basketball team is off to a strong start to the season. The Trojans recently defeated both Milwaukee and Wichita State to open up the year 2-0.

On Monday, the Big Ten announced its conference honors for the first week of the 2026-2027 season. For his performances in the two victories, USC's Alijah Arenas was named the League's Player of the Week.

Arenas scored a combined 51 points in the Trojans' first two games. That included a career high 30 against Wichita State in Lake Tahoe on Sunday night. He also recorded a career-high eight rebounds in the season opener against Milwaukee.

USC is back in action on Wednesday night when the Trojans visit former Pac-12 foe Cal. After that, they will return home for three consecutive games at Galen Center.
