What to Know
The #16 Southern California Trojans will be returning home after a two-game road trip. USC and the #2 Arizona Wildcats will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Galen Center. The Trojans will be strutting in after a win while Arizona will be stumbling in from a loss.
USC escaped with a win this past Saturday against the Oregon Ducks by the margin of a single free throw, 70-69. USC relied on the efforts of forward Isaiah Mobley, who had 17 points along with nine boards, and guard Drew Peterson, who had 20 points in addition to eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, Arizona ended up a good deal behind the Colorado Buffaloes when they played this past Saturday, losing 79-63. The losing side was boosted by forward Azuolas Tubelis, who had 15 points in addition to eight boards.
The Trojans are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 3-0 against the spread when expected to lose.
USC’s victory brought them up to 25-4 while the Wildcats’ defeat pulled them down to 25-3. A couple defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: USC have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.10%, which places them fifth in college basketball. But Arizona is even better: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 37.80%, which places them fourth in college basketball. We’ll see if that edge gives Arizona a route to victory.
