Pick

I’m backing Oregon here. The Ducks are dangerous now that they’re starting to get fully healthy and they’ve definitely turned a corner in conference play to this point. USC’s a solid team, but they’re on the road here where they’ve had some issues this season and Oregon at home, desperately needs this win to get into the conversation of even being on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. I’ll side with the Ducks at home in this one.
