Long Beach State has plenty of experience and offensive punch behind senior guard Deishuan Booker (16 ppg) and senior forward Temidayo Yussuf. This is their fourth game against the Pac 12 this season, playing well in close losses to Oregon State (75-72) and UCLA (91-80). They also scored 86 points in a win over Iona as a +5 dog. Long Beach State is 55-30 ATS after allowing 75+ points in two straight games. They head to a banged up Southern California squad. The injury-plagued Trojans have been without freshman guard Kevin Porter Jr. (quad) and junior guard Derryck Thornton (ankle), both starters that are listed as day-to-day. With USC 57-83 ATS at home after a game where they covered the spread, back the big dog. Play the points on Long Beach State.
