Teams like Kansas and Memphis may not be on the USC men's basketball schedule released Tuesday, but if you calculate the average RPI ratings for opponents, the nonconference is tougher than last season.
The highlights have USC heading to San Juan, P.R. for the Puerto Rico Tipoff tourney and a date with Seton Hall that could lead to a rematch with Memphis and a return game at Oklahoma in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series. Heading the nonconference home schedule is ACC power Georgia Tech. There are a potentil 14 opponents who won 20 games last season.
USC's first two games are at home as the Trojans host UC Irvine Nov. 15 and New Mexico State Nov. 18. Here's the schedule.
