Following USC’s game, Galen Center will host No. 8 seed Cal vs. No. 9 seed Mississippi State. Tipoff of that game will be at approximately 2:30 p.m. Pacific time on ESPN2. The winners of the two matchups will meet on on Monday, March 24. Tipoff time and television information for that game will be announced following Saturday’s contests.
