USC is getting multiple favorable projections from the experts. Now the Trojans need to close the deal and not stumble before the baseball tournament selection show
USC baseball is currently on a roll. The Trojans have won seven consecutive series, and currently sit at 30-14 on the season heading into a massive three-game series with crosstown rival UCLA this weekend.
On Wednesday, Baseball America released its latest projected field for the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The projection has the Trojans in the field as the No. 3 seed in the Fayetteville regional.
The Trojans would travel to the state of Arkansas, where the top seed in their region would be the No. 7 overall seed Razorbacks. The No. 2 seed in the region would be UTSA, and the No. 4 seed would be Oral Roberts.
Under third-year head coach Andy Stankiewicz, USC is having its best season in years. The Trojans have not been to the NCAA Tournament since 2015, and have gone just once in the past two decades. This year, USC looks to be in great position to end the streak.
First, however, the Trojans still have three more Big Ten series in which they will need to take care of business, in addition to two more midweek nonconference games. After the Crosstown Showdown this weekend, USC will host Michigan State the following weekend, before wrapping up the regular season in Seattle against Washington. The Trojans will then travel to Omaha, Nebraska for the Big Ten Tournament at the end of May.
