Result:
WIN

Akron is having a winning season but they've only played two games away from home and both were their worst offensive games of the season, tallying 60 and 64 points. Akron is on a 9-4 run UNDER the total. Southern California is off a loss to Princeton and is running out of players! The Trojans were without four rotation players in Tuesday's 103-93 overtime loss to Princeton, including dynamic guard De'Anthony Melton, who didn't make the trip to Honolulu and has yet to play this season while the school investigates his eligibility. Forward Bennie Boatwright (15.4 ppg, 8.3 rpg) has missed the last two games due to a foot injury, while guards Jonah Mathews (9.2 ppg) and Derryck Thornton are listed as day-to-day. With just nine available scholarship players, guard Shaqquan Aaron made his first start of the season on Tuesday and finished with five points and two rebounds before fouling out. And USC is 10-2 UNDER the total after allowing 90+ points in their previous game. Back the UNDER.
