Baylor peaked when it was ranked #1 earlier in the season, but has come back to earth fast at 6-6 SU the last 12 games. Baylor is on a 7-13 spread run, 4-9 ATS following a straight up win. They face a USC team with frontcourt muscle and an athletic backcourt that has been outstanding in close games and comebacks. Elijah Stewart hit a late three-pointer for USC as the Trojans upset sixth-seeded SMU 66-65 on Friday in the first round. USC trailed SMU by 10 in the second half. The Trojans trailed Providence by 17 in the second half of their First Four game on Wednesday before winning 75-71. It was the 13th time USC had a double-digit comeback win this season, the most such victories in Division I. The Trojans are on a roll and 21-8-1 ATS in non-conference games. Play USC.
