USC Basketball Vs Seton Hall: Betting Odds, How To Watch, Predictions And More

It's time for some Thanksgiving basketball.

Forget Christmastime, this week is the most wonderful time of the year.

Not only will there be Black Friday football for the first time in NFL history and a great lineup of rivalry games in college football, but we are in the heart of semi-meaningless college basketball tournaments that allow fans to see how their team might fare in March.

For No. 23 USC men's basketball, they will take the short trip down south to San Diego, where they will face Seton Hall in the first round of the inaugural Rady Children's Invitational LionTree Arena.

USC's lone loss of the season came in an upset against CSU Bakersfield and they are coming off a recent 81-70 win over Brown that was perhaps a bit took close for comfort.

Seton Hall started the season going 4-0, with wins against Saint Peters, FDU, Albany and Wagner.

The Trojans are currently favored by 2.5 points and the over/under is set at 141. USC is 2-2 against the spread, but the over has hit in three of their four games. Seton Hall is 3-2 vs. the spread and the over has cashed in two of their four games.

Led by freshman point guard Isaiah Collier and fifth-year guard Boogie Ellis, the Trojans feature depth and a defensive-minded attack that teams have struggled with. Collier, who has won consecutive Pac-12 Player of the Week awards, and Ellis are both averaging 21 points per game.

The game will tip off at 2:30 p.m. PDT and it will be streamed on FS1.
