The under is 5-2 in Trojans last 7 road games. The over is 4-0-1 in Cardinal last 5 overall. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The USC Trojans are playing the better basketball, have been the more consistent team at both ends of the floor and have won four of the last six meetings against Stanford. The Stanford Cardinal have run hot and cold lately and sometimes don’t find the offensive horses needed to put games away. The USC Trojans are far and away the more trustworthy team here. I’ll lay the bucket.
