The Trojans had hoped to stay close to home but were assigned to the East region and will face the Spartans in Columbus, Ohio.
The USC men’s basketball team is going dancing for the third straight year.
The Trojans were named the No. 10 seeds in the East bracket of the NCAA Tournament and will face No. 7 seed Michigan State in Columbus on Friday. USC finished third in conference play and hoped to parlay that into a favorable location like Sacramento or Denver for fans to travel to the tournament. But an uninspired loss to Arizona State in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals spoiled any hope of the Trojans staying close to home.
Instead, the Trojans will be in the Midwest, a close commute for fans of Michigan State . Should USC beat the Spartans, it would face the winner of No. 2 Marquette and No. 15 Vermont.
