Out of the East Region, two 11 seeds will battle for a spot against SMU as the USC Trojans clash with the Providence Friars.
USC Trojans
The USC Trojans earned an at large bid into the NCAA Tournament and will have the play in game path to deal with.
The Trojans were left wondering following their 2 point loss to UCLA in the PAC 12 Tournament whether or not they had done enough to earn a spot.
USC had dropped 4 in a row late in the year prior to a 3 game winning streak essentially canceling that out. The wins over Washington State and Washington twice likely was the deciding factor for the committee, along with them taking the Bruins to the brink.

Here against Providence, the Trojans will look to Chimezie Metu, who leads the team with 14.5 points per game to go along with 7.8 rebounds per game.
USC would face SMU should they advance, a team they defeated earlier this season.
Providence Friars
Providence was bounced from the Big East Tournament at the hands of the Creighton Blue Jays, but prior to that they really sealed their fate.
The Friars rattled off 6 straight wins and they’ve been one of the best defensive teams in the nations, a main reason for their success this season.
Providence allows just 66.6 points per game, which is one of the best marks in the NCAA.
