NCAA Basketball Picks USC @ Oregon

The Southern California Trojans (9-3 SU, 5-5 ATS, 5-4 O/U) have won four consecutive games in the BetOnline Sportsbook.

The Oregon Ducks (6-6 SU, 4-7 ATS, 5-4 O/U) have won two straight games but have only covered the spread for BetOnline NCAA college basketball betting buffs once in their last four contests.

Tonight, the Pac-10 rivals will each try to pick up a victory tonight when they square off at McArthur Court.

USC is coming off a solid 66-56 win over Oral Roberts on Sunday as freshman forward DeMar DeRozan scored a team-high 18 points and junior forward Taj Gibson added 16 points.

The Trojans shot a blistering 52.9 percent from the field while limiting Oral Roberts to just 39.0 percent shooting from the field and 20 percent from long distance (4-for-20).

Oregon covered the 9-point spread as home favorites in their 86-74 win over Long beach State as sophomore guard LeKendric Longmire scored a team-high 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting from the field and junior forward Joevan Catron added 13 points.

NCAAB Odds

USC Trojans -2½ -110

Oregon Ducks +2½ -110

Analysis: Despite their 0-1 road record so far this season, I like the USC Trojans to march into Eugene and grab a solid win over the Ducks as they are clearly the deeper, more athletic team in this matchup.

Oregon has already dropped two home contests in six outings and should make it three tonight.
