Not often focusing upon Steve Lavin's USD, but upon inspection his Toreros haven't offered bad spread value, actually covering 8 of 12 despite off of back-to-back losses to Oregon State and Saint Mary's. On the WCC trail USD has covered three of five, not great but not bad, and the last two games have featured subpar production from top scorer, Wake Forest transfer G Ty-Laur Johnson (15.3 ppg), held to single digits in the losses to the Beavers and Gaels. At its own level, USD hasn't been outclassed this season, and has put up good fights vs USC and Gonzaga this season. Simply not sure we want to lay points with LMU, which had lost six straight prior to Thursday's win at USF. Play USD
