Joshua Morgan - No return timetable providedMorgan (ankle) has no timetable for return according to coach Andy Enfield, Adam Jasper of 247 Sports reports.
ImpactWith Morgan sidelined, the Trojans turned to freshman Vincent Iwuchukwu to make his first start of the season, though his contributions were limited due to foul trouble. Iwuchukwu should continue to see increased opportunities moving forward while fellow underclassmen Harrison Hornery and Iaroslav Niagu are also candidates to see extra minutes in a reserve capacity. USC has the second-worst defensive rebounding rate in the conference -- an area that will likely continue to suffer while its center depth is tested.
