22. USC Trojans (11-1)
Shortly before Wednesday's win over UTSA, the Trojans announced that star guard Rodney Rice is expected to miss the rest of the season with the right shoulder injury that has sidelined him since the Maui Invitational. He's missed the past six games with the injury but was averaging 20.3 points and 6.0 assists to start the season. Rice is the second USC player likely out for the campaign after Amarion Dickerson suffered a hip injury earlier this month that will keep him out three to four months. On the plus side, there's renewed optimism that five-star guard Alijah Arenas could be back in January.
