USC has been having a good season with their 17-6 record overall and they are also one of the best teams in the PAC-12 right now with their 9-3 conference record. They haven't been great in road games but haven't been terrible either as they are 3-3 but they do have a lot of momentum coming into this one with 4 wins in a row and against some pretty good teams too. Oregon has not been playing as well this year as they are only 14-10 overall and are 8-5 in their conference games. They have been good at home with a 10-4 home record but have still been vulnerable in those games while USC has a lot of momentum right now with some big wins and they have the potential to pull off an upset win in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on USC to cover the spread in this game.

"Kobe played one of the best games I've ever seen a Trojan play with his effort. He had a sprained ankle as well, but he knew he had to play because Reese and Josh were out." - Andy Enfield on Kobe Johnson after his team’s win against Washington in their last game.

"We thought he was our best option at that time. They were pushing out really hard and they were leaving him one on one in the post. He did a really good job finishing, he made four free throws. He did a great job." - Dana Altman on N’Faly Dante after his team’s win against ASU in their last game.
