Free Betting Pick: USC Trojans +1.5
Both these teams have underperformed this season as Arizona is a powerhouse program while the USC Trojans have arguably the most talent in the conference. With that being said I think the Trojans will prevail in the 1st round considering the presence of Rakocevic and Boatwright in the frontcourt. If the Trojans can get Kevin Porter Jr. to score at a high rate this team could be dangerous in a wide-open conference. The USC Trojans were also able to blow Arizona out by 23 earlier in the conference slate which means they will bring confidence into this one. USC wins and covers, 72-68.
