The USC Trojans and Wisconsin Badgers meet Friday in college basketball action at the Imperial Arena. The USC Trojans look to build on their 4-2 record. The Wisconsin Badgers look for their fifth win.

The USC Trojans are averaging 74.5 points on 46.5 percent shooting and allowing 68.7 points on 37.3 percent shooting. Boogie Ellis is averaging 18 points and 2 assists, while Drew Peterson is averaging 15.8 points and 7.6 assists.

The USC Trojans are shooting 29.5 percent from beyond the arc and 69.6 percent from the free throw line. The USC Trojans are allowing 30.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.7 rebounds per game.

The Wisconsin Badgers are averaging 62.4 points on 36.1 percent shooting and allowing 53 points on 36.1 percent shooting. Tyler Wahl is averaging 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds, while Steven Crowl is averaging 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds. Chucky Hepburn is dishing 3 assists and Jordan Davis is grabbing 5 rebounds. The Wisconsin Badgers are shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 75.3 percent from the free throw line. The Wisconsin Badgers are allowing 17.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.2 rebounds per game.

The USC Trojans put a lot of effort into trying to knock off the Vols in overtime and couldn’t complete the task. Now, USC has to dust its knees off and get ready for a physical, nasty defense in Wisconsin. Not an ideal matchup when you’re probably disappointed and playing your third game in as many days. The Wisconsin Badgers showed they’re the real deal after nearly knocking off Kansas. I trust Wisconsin’s defense to prevail in a battle of two tired teams.
