The forward is scoring 14.8 points per game. Kuzma scored 26 points in the most recent win. Utah is tied with two other teams out of the Pac-12 with one loss. The conference is currently led by Arizona and Oregon, who have yet to lose a conference game yet in 2016-2017.

Why Bet on USC?

The USC Trojans got off to a quick start, winning 14 straight games. The Trojans have dropped two out of their last three games to Oregon and California. In between those losses, USC won over the Stanford Cardinal. The Trojans are scoring 79.9 points per game, and led by Jordan McGlaughlin’s 14.5 points per game. The defense for the Trojans ranks 132 in the nation, allowing just shy of 70 points per game. USC will play this road game at Utah, and then head out on the road to Colorado. The Trojans are seeking their 18th tournament appearance, and they are hopeful for their third trip to the Final Four.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

This should be a very interesting Pac-12 game. The Utah Utes are certainly going to want to slow things down. The Utes are a fundamental team that will make sure they are taking the best shots they can. The USC Trojans are quite a bit faster, and will take shots when they get the chance, whether they are a good one or not. The home court advantage goes to Utah, which certainly is the deciding factor. The USC Trojans are a team that continues to struggle with their third loss in four games. The final bet for this game is the Utah Utes -2 over the USC Trojans.
