USC Trojans Betting Prediction
First, we have the USC vs Arizona Betting prediction for the Trojans.
USC beat Washington in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament on Wednesday afternoon. It was their fifth win in the last six games and their fourth in a row. The Trojans have a record of 15–17 overall and 8–12 in league play this season.
In the first half against Washington, USC was behind by as many as nine points before cutting the deficit to five at halftime. It was a tie at 65 with four minutes left in the game, but the Trojans went on a 9-2 run that put them ahead 74-67 with 41 seconds left and gave them the win.
Both teams made 50% of their shots from the field, with nine of 22 three-point shots going in. USC also had a 33-30 edge on the glass during the game. Ellis scored 25 points to lead the Trojans to victory.
With 74.9 points per game this season, the Trojans are 149th in the country in terms of scoring efficiency. With 34.2 rebounds and 15.8 assists per night, USC comes into this game in good shape. The Trojans’ defense isn’t very good; they rank 262nd in the country by giving up 74.4 points per game this season.
Ellis leads the team with 16.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and three assists per game this season. He is one of only three players in double figures. Kobe Johnson (10.8 points, 4.5 boards, and 3.3 assists) and Isaiah Collier (16.4 points, 4.3 assists) are good backup scorers.
This season, Bronny James, Joshua Morgan, DJ Rodman, Vincent Iwuchukwu, Oziyah Sellers, Harrison Hornery, Kijani Wright, and Arrinten Page have all played a good amount of minutes for coach Andy Enfield.
This season, USC makes 45.4% of its shots from the floor. It takes the Trojans 35.8% of their shots to make three-pointers, which is 7.7 per game. As a team, USC shoots 69.5% from the line this season, which is 288th in Division I and below average.
Arizona Wildcats Betting Prediction
Now we have the USC vs Arizona Betting prediction for the Wildcats.
Arizona lost their last game of the regular season at USC, ending a four-game win run that had nothing to do with the standings. It was a bad season for the Wildcats. They lost 24-7 overall and 15-5 in the Pac-12.
Arizona was ahead by one point late in the first half against USC, but then they gave up nine straight points, becoming down 38-30 with 18:29 left in the game. After that, the Wildcats couldn’t get any closer than three points, and they lost.
Arizona only made 38.7% of its shots from the field, including just 6 of 21 from three-point range, and lost the ball 18 times during the game. Arizona lost, but Keshad Johnson and Oumar Ballo played well and scored 17 points each.
This season, the Wildcats score 89.5 points per game, which ranks them third in the country in terms of attack. Arizona gets 42.9 boards per game, which is second in the country, and they give out 19 assists per game, which is first in the country.
The Wildcats’ defense isn’t very good; they give up 73.2 points per game, which ranks them 227th in the country. This season, Caleb Love has averaged 18.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Wildcats. Each of Arizona’s Oumar Ballo (13.1 points, 10 rebounds), Pelle Larsson (13 points, 4.1 boards), Keshad Johnson (11.9 points), and Kylan Boswell (10.2 points, 3.6 assists) averages more than 10 points per game.
Motiejus Krivas, KJ Lewis, Jaden Bradley, Paulius Murauskas, and Filip Borovicanin are also important to the Wildcats because they fill in for Tommy Lloyd. This season, Arizona hits 49.2% from the field, which ranks 14th in the country.
The Wildcats make 37.4% of their three-point shots, which ranks them 23rd in the country. They make 7.9 three-pointers every night. About a tenth of the time, Arizona has made free throws, making 72.4% of their tries this season.
USC vs Arizona Betting Pick
In the first round, USC won, and in their last game, which was at home against Arizona on Saturday, they also won. So, the Wildcats didn’t have anything to play for in that game because Washington State had already lost to Washington in their last game, which meant that Washington won the Pac-12 title before the game.
The USC team is fit and playing well right now, but this Arizona team is very good and can score a lot of points. The Wildcats are hard to stop because five of their players average over 10 points per game. Arizona should get revenge for their loss on Saturday by winning this game and moving on to the playoffs.
