Longtime Pac-12 rivals will meet for the second time since heading their separate ways when 21st-ranked Southern California and Cal square off in a nonconference game Wednesday night in Berkeley, Calif. Having met twice annually as members of the same conference, the Trojans (2-0) and Golden Bears (2-1) chose to continue their intrastate battle as nonconference foes in 2024.

Both teams traveled to the Nevada side of the California border to participate in the eight-team Lake Tahoe Classic on Sunday, when USC got 32 points from Rodney Rice and 30 from Alijah Arenas in a 93-86 win over Wichita State, after Cal wasted a 19-point effort from Michael Cooper in an 86-68 loss to then-No. 10 Houston.
