USC Trojans
USC lost at home to Oregon State over the weekend, which is an unforgivable loss lost years but the Beavers are third in the Pac-12 this season.
Still, SC’s last four losses have come by just 19 points. The Trojans won at Cal and beat Oregon in that span, too, but they are on a 2–4 run that has sent them into fifth-place, tied for fifth-place, actually, with their opponent on Thursday night.

On talent alone, this is an NCAA Tournament team, as has been the case in most recent seasons for USC. Andy Enfield just hasn’t been able to get the most out of his roster, despite a relatively healthy Bennie Boatwright.
The 6’10” senior is averaging over 18 points per game and shooting 44 percent on over six threes per game. That sort of size and outside shooting has him on the NBA radar.
He’s joined by Jonah Matthews, who shoots over 40 percent from three, and two other marksmen who combine to shoot about 39 percent on another six attempts per game. As a team, USC shoots 39 percent from three in conference play, second in the Pac-12.
UCLA Bruins
UCLA can’t match that outside shooting bus Moses Brown is a dominant force that will keep the USC big men’s attention on the interior.
Brown was ineffective in his first matchup at USC, back in mid-January. He played just 20 minutes and went 1-for-5 from the field. The entire team was bad, turning it over 20 times in a blowout loss.

UCLA has won two in a row, both at home, against Oregon and Oregon State. That has the Bruins going in the opposite direction as USC.
They will play this final home game before getting a week off and playing back-to-back road games. It will be an anticlimactic senior night; there isn’t a single four-year man on UCLA’s roster.
