USC and Rutgers meet today in the Big Ten first round. Both ended up with identical 15-16 records, and both only have three wins on the road. But it's USC that really struggled down the stretch, losing six of their final seven games, including a loss at Rutgers, 95-85, on February 23rd. USC's problem is they don't play any defense, allowing 46.2% shooting, which muddies up their solid 48% shooting on offense. Rutgers to win.

We are riding USC overs while we still can - and this might be it. Trojans are over in 5 of 6 and 16-4 in the Big 10. They are also 17-5 to the over on 2-3 days rest and 23-8 overall. They don't play any defense and when they feel like running they hang 80 on middling Big 10 teams. Rutgers is terrible on defense, too, and these teams combined for 180 points in the regular season (2/23) going over by 28 points. Rutgers has been playing loosey-goosey and are over in 4 of their last 5. This should be a race to 80+ again.
