Stadium:
Galen Center
The Galen Center is a multipurpose indoor arena and athletic facility owned and operated by the University of Southern California. Located at the southeast corner of Jefferson Boulevard and Figueroa Street in the Exposition Park area of Los Angeles, it is right across the street from the campus and near the Shrine Auditorium and is the home of the USC Trojans basketball and USC Volleyball teams. The architectural firm behind the design of the Galen Center is HNTB. In addition to basketball and volleyball events, the Galen Center will host concerts, pageants and theatrical performances. Local high school graduation ceremonies as well as CIF championships and the Academic Decathlon will also be held at the Galen Center.

Team History:
The USC Trojans men's basketball program is currently coached by Tim Floyd. Other Staff: Phil Johnson, Bob Cantu, Gib Arnold, Rob Brooks, Rudy Hackett, Eric Perea. Sam Barry coached the men's team between 1930 and 1950, interrupted by World War II service, and won the conference title three times. Things have been looking up for the Trojans as they have already received top-rated recruit O.J. Mayo, and on January 22, 2007 they finally became a ranked team coming in at #25 in the AP poll. A feat which hasn't been accomplished since the 2000-01 season. On February 5th, 2006, the Trojans were ranked #19 in the AP Poll. Next year, USC will feature guard OJ Mayo, from Huntington High School next season, who has been ranked as the best prospect of the 2007 recruiting class, as well as the son of Master P, Percy Romeo Miller, Jr. Additionally, USC advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. This has not been accomplished since 2001 (second time since 1979) and is a remarkable start to Tim Floyd's career at USC considering that in his second year of tenure, he has already led his team further than anyone's expectations.

Season Preview:
Good news: Taj Gibson didn't declare for the NBA draft. And, by the way, the Trojans picked up one of the top recruiting classes in the country led by O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson. Bad news: The Trojans lost two first-round picks in guards Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt to the NBA draft.
