The UCLA Bruins make the short trip to the Galen Center for the regular-season finale against the rival USC Trojans.
The Bruins have won three of their last four and will aim to build momentum — and improve their seeding — heading into postseason play, whereas the Trojans have likely been eliminated from the Big Dance thanks to a six-game losing streak.
My UCLA vs. USC predictions & college basketball picks are backing Mick Cronin’s squad to stay hot on Saturday, March 7.
UCLA vs USC best bet: UCLA -6.5 (-116)
The USC Trojans haven’t covered since February 11, and their NCAA Tournament hopes are likely all but gone.
Leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara was dismissed from the team, joining injured Rodney Rice as absent difference-makers.
Meanwhile, the UCLA Bruins have found its groove, ranking top 10 in offensive efficiency since February 1 (BartTorvik).
Donovan Dent went for 30 points and eight assists without a turnover in the last meeting, and that offense should keep rolling against a Trojans squad that’s allowed 81+ points in three straight and has little left to play for.
During his stint at USC, Eric Musselman is 0-3 against UCLA. His team ranks top 10 in adjusted tempo across the last month, making this a pace-up spot for Dent and Tyler Bilodeau to rack up stats.
Dent has dished out 8+ assists in four straight games, and Bilogeau has canned 2+ triples in seven of his last eight contests.
Alijah Arenas will have a substantial usage rate for a shorthanded Trojans squad aiming to keep up with a Bruins squad that is much more offense-oriented than usual.
UCLA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine meetings with USC. Find more college basketball betting trends for UCLA vs. USC.
