Indiana women’s basketball’s matchup with No. 4 USC on Sunday will tip off at noon, according to the program’s post on X. The game is the Hoosiers’ annual “white out” game and will be nationally televised on NBC. 

When the Hoosiers’ tipoff times were released Oct. 9, the start time had not yet been finalized. But now, six days ahead of the game, it has now been determined. 

USC sophomore guard JuJu Watkins headlines the matchup as she earned First-Team All-American honors during her first season in Los Angeles. Through 17 games so far this season, Watkins is averaging 25.5 points per game. 

The Trojans’ contest against Northwestern, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. Coming off a season in which it reached the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, USC enters Sunday with a 16-1 overall record and a perfect 6-0 mark in Big Ten play. 

The Hoosiers enter this week coming off a pair of road victories against Northwestern and then-No. 23 Iowa. 

Before hosting USC, Indiana (12-4, 4-1 Big Ten) will face off against Illinois at 7 p.m. Thursday inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington.
