Where there is a will, there’s a way for USC and its shrunken roster -- at least at home. The Trojans are 10-1 there straight-up and have covered in four of the last five. Their potent bigs could thrive if Arizona C Chase Jeter (back) is limited or out entirely. He has barely practiced since last Saturday’s injury. These are not your grandfather’s Wildcats. Though a contender in the watered-down Pac-12, they are relatively inexperienced.
My numbers see at least 151 points hitting the scoreboard Thursday in this Pac-12 showdown. USC likes to go up tempo and the Wildcats, though they often thrive in a half-court pace, can match an opponent's style. USC is on a 6-1 run to the Over at home against opponents with winning records. I've got his headed Over in 70 percent of simulations.
