USC Basketball Vs UCLA: How To Watch, Odds, Predictions & More

USC will look to avoid a season sweep to their arch-rivals.

The USC Trojans will look for their 11th win of the season this time to their arch-rivals, the UCLA Bruins. The Trojans dropped the first meeting against the Bruins in late January at the Galen Center, and now, they'll travel to Westwood and play in Pauley Pavillion. 

According to Action Network, the Trojans will look to play spoiler as they are underdogs, being +5. The over/under is set at 133.5, and the USC moneyline is set at +180. The game will air on ESPN with Roxt Berinstein and Sean Farnham on the call. Tip-off is set at 7:00 p.m. 

Their first season meeting did not go the way USC wanted it to. Both teams were sitting at 8-11, and the Bruins got the edge in that game, winning it 65-50. That got UCLA on the right track as they tailed off on a six-game win streak. 

In contrast, USC is riding on a 2-5 record since their loss to UCLA. 

The Trojans have a 115-147 record all-time against UCLA but have the edge as of late as they are 6-4 in the last ten matchups against the Bruins. 

USC has not played its best basketball this season, losing three of their last five games. Their latest loss came in double overtime against the Colorado Buffaloes at home. 

The Trojans will look to get back on track against UCLA today and finish these last five games on a strong note.
