USC and Ole Miss lock horns in their 2024-25 women's college basketball season opener on Monday in Paris, France. The matchup, dubbed Aflac Oui-Play Game, will take place at the Adidas Arena as both teams seek to start the season on a bright note.
The Trojans, ranked No. 3 in the AP Preseason Women's Basketball poll, start their campaign as new members of the Big Ten Conference following the dissolution of the the Pac-12 Conference.
Reigning National Freshman of the Year JuJu Watkins is set to lead the Women of Troy, who will step into the new season with its version of the "Big Four." USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb and her coaching staff had a busy offseason, working hard to strengthen the lineup and surpass its Elite Eight finish.
The Trojans secured the return of forward-center Rayah Marshall and acquired quality additions from the transfer portal in Talia von Oelhoffen and Kiki Iriafen. Moreover, USC secured a haul of six highly rated freshmen to complement its "Big Four."
Meanwhile, the No. 20 Ole Miss Rebels are one of the seven SEC teams ranked in the AP preseason poll. The Yolett McPhee-McCuin-mentored team aims to secure another NCAA tournament bid this season and move past the second round.
Madison Scott will lead the Rebels' attack and will be helped by returning cagers Kennedy Todd-Williams, KK Deans and Kharyssa Richardson. They also gained the commitments of forward Starr Jacobs and Christeen Iwuala from the transfer portal and acquired Heloisa Carrera and Sira Thienou from high school.
