USC is undefeated at this point of the season, albeit against a less than stellar competition, but as they say, a win is a win. They are a well-balanced team, who can defend the basket, shoot the three and rebound the basketball. The Cardinal are at home and are a good team but they really do nothing that stands out. USC hasn't played since December 19th and Stanford since the 23rd. Stanford's layoff doesn't help their offensive efficiency which will be needed against the USC defense. Stanford is 8-4 on the season and 6-0 at home. The favorite is 5-0 against the spread in the last 5 meetings between these two. Lay the points with the Trojans.

Play on USC. This is an 8* play.
