Providence vs. USC

This will be an interesting matchup, as both these squads really struggled down the stretch, and the best of their respective body of work occurred in the early part of the season. USC finished their last 10 games at just 3-7, but the Friars closed not much better at 5-6 over their last 11. Providence has struggled in those 11 games from the field, as they logged six of the 11 shooting less than 40%. USC after opening the season with many games at or over the 50% mark, did not generate one in their last nine games. This game is going to have to be won by the defense from both sides, as the offense has been very spotty. Add in the high total, I just don't see this one getting there. Make the play on the UNDER.
