Two teams from the Pac 12 will be squaring off when the Utah Utes visit the USC Trojans for a late-night matchup.
The tip-off is set for 11:30 ET from the Galen Center.
The Trojans started off as a 9 point favorite and that number is now down to 7.5. The total has gone from 137 to 136.
Utah Utes
The Utah basketball team has started off the year well. That statement may come to the surprise of some folks.
The Utes lost to the BYU Cougars on November 27th by a score of 75-64. They will look to bounce back when they take on this USC squad.
This team has not played anybody all that great besides BYU. Even though they lost the ball game, those types of games are important. You should want to play against stiff competition.
In the loss to BYU, Branden Carlson was the leading scorer with 17 points scored. The offense just was not able to do enough in order to beat a Cougars team that is now ranked number 12 in the nation. It will not get easier when they have to face the Trojans.
USC Trojans
Similar to Utah, this USC team has gotten off to a good start. I was not sure what to make of this squad heading into the year.
The Trojans come into this game with a record of 6-0. Sure, the level of competition has not been great, but it is still good for their program that they are winning ball games. It will be much tougher for them when they face a legit opponent in the Utes on Wednesday.
This club last played on November 26th, where they beat the San Diego State Aztecs by a score of 58-43. Although it was not a high-scoring game for their offense, it was a very good sign for their defense that they held a team to under 50 points.
In the win over the Aztecs, the leading scorer was Isaiah Mobley with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Drew Peterson Contributed 16 points and 6 rebounds as well.

Free Utah Utes vs. USC Trojans NCAAB Prediction:
To me, this has the chance to be a very good game. Two solid teams from the Pac 12 squaring off? Give me that.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Utah ATS
I understand that USC is a ranked team and they are better than Utah. By the way, that is no knock on the Utes.
Given that, I feel that Utah can make this game close. I am not saying they will win it outright, but I could definitely see them covering the spread.
In this spot, I do not trust the Trojans laying the 7.5. It is just too high for me. Also, you cannot deny how good Utah has been ATS when they have played USC as of late.
Give me the Utes getting 7.5 points on the road in this one.
