LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb has the 25th-ranked Trojans in position to end their nine-year NCAA Tournament drought. USC is in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2016 and one of six teams from the Pac-12 to appear in the rankings. USC visits third-ranked Stanford on Friday. The Trojans’ biggest win this season came on Jan. 15 when they posted a 55-46 victory over the Cardinal, snapping Stanford’s 39-game conference winning streak.
