Under the direction of former Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Lindsay Gottlieb, the USC women's basketball team is coming off a 2024-25 season that saw the Trojans win the Big Ten regular season championship, earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and reach a second straight Elite Eight to finish with a 31-4 overall record.
