USC vs. Purdue

USC got by Rutgers yesterday, 97-89, in double overtime. Every starter topped 40 minutes with Rashaun Agee playing 48 and Wesley Yates III playing 50! That doesn't bode well against a Purdue squad working on seven days of rest. USC is ninth in the 18-team conference from the free-throw line, while the defense is 16th in points surrendered (75.5 per game), 15th in shooting allowed (46%), and 10th at defending the 3-pointer. USC is on a 3-7 ATS run. Purdue is No. 1 in the Big Ten in field goal shooting (49.6%) and in 3-point shooting (38.6%), while the defense is sixth in points allowed and third at defending beyond the arc (30.8%). Purdue is on a 12-6 ATS run and crushed USC last month, 90-72. Play Purdue.
