Up next for USC: Friday vs. Coppin State

USC tonight VS. COPPIN STATE When: 7:30. Where: Galen Center. On the air: Radio: 710. Records: Trojans 1-1, Eagles 4-1. Update: USC forward Marcus Johnson will make his season debut tonight after issues related to last season’s transfer from Connecticut kept him out of the first two games. Trojans Coach Kevin O’Neill said Johnson will “play a lot of minutes,� but his role will hinge on the availability of forward Alex Stepheson. O’Neill said Stepheson is a “longshot� to play because of a sore left knee, even though Stepheson said the knee is fine. The Trojans will be without forward Kasey Cunningham, who suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee last week. -- Mark Medina
