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.
VANDERBILT: Last season: 19-16, second straight NCAA Tournament berth.
Who's gone: C Luke Kornet, the program's all-time shot blocker. G Nolan Cressler.
Who's back: G Matthew Fisher-Davis. He's the top returning scorer after averaging 13.9 points per game last season. F Jeff Roberson. Another senior, he averaged 10.8 points and 7 rebounds per game. G Riley LaChance. The third senior averaged 10.5 points per game while running the point starting all 35 games. G Joe Toye. He averaged 6.4 points and started 13 games.
Who's new: G Saben Lee. G Maxwell Evans. C Ejike Obinna. The Nigerian will help start replacing Kornet.
The Skinny: Drew coached the Commodores to the NCAA Tournament in his first season ' the first coach ever to do that in his inaugural season at Vanderbilt. Now he's starting to get players onto the roster alongside those who know exactly how he's asking them to play.
PREVIEW
No. 10 USC aims to use size at Vanderbilt
 

No. 10 USC hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, Tenn., to face Vanderbilt on Sunday.

The Trojans (2-0) cruised in their season opener against Cal State Fullerton, but needed a late-game surge to hold off pesky North Dakota State 75-65 on Monday. The upset bug that nearly bit USC caught Vanderbilt (2-1) that same night in a 69-60 loss to Belmont.

The Commodores avoided a repeat Friday, holding off UNC Asheville 79-76. Senior forward Jeff Roberson's third double-double in as many games led Vanderbilt to victory.

"His focus at practice, especially the last two weeks, has been the best that we've seen from him and I think it's showing in his play," Vanderbilt second-year coach Bryce Drew said following Friday's win.

Roberson goes head-to-head with a USC frontcourt featuring junior forwards Chimezie Metu and Bennie Boatwright. Metu and Boatwright have played excellent individual games on the young season, with Boatwright coming off a career-high 28 points with eight rebounds against North Dakota State, and Metu recording a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds against Cal State Fullerton.

The frontcourt duo leads USC in points and rebounds through two games, and senior guard Jordan McLaughlin is not far behind at 12 points and seven boards per game, with a team-high five assists.

"(McLaughlin) keeps us composed and ready to go," Boatwright said.

This Pac-12 vs. SEC matchup could turn into a defensive struggle. The Commodores rank No. 43 in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency per KenPom.com metrics, and USC No. 15. Vanderbilt ranked in the Top 40 nationally in this category a season ago.

USC introduced more 2-3 zone into its defensive repertoire early into the season. Head coach Andy Enfield said making the switch from man-to-man in the second half against North Dakota State proved pivotal, as the zone took advantage of USC's size.

The Trojans will have a distinct edge once again against Vanderbilt. Of the Commodores' top five scorers, no one is taller than 6-foot-7 junior guard Joe Toye. Roberson, averaging team-highs of 14.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, goes 6-6.

"With us being a little undersized and having to play small at times, a lot of rebounding falls on him," Commodores senior guard Riley LaChance said in the press conference after Friday's win. LaChance is adding 13.3 points through three games.

USC must continue to attack the interior on offense, which it did successfully in the second half against North Dakota State. Boatwright, typically an excellent 3-point shooter -- he made 47 from behind the arc last season, eight more than his total of 2-point field goals -- demonstrated a more aggressive attacking style.

"I credit it a lot to the coaching staff and my teammates, helping me get in the gym and work on my all-around game; not just being a 3-point shooter," Boatwright said. "Coach (Jason) Hart preaches that to me all the time, and I'm thankful for that."
