Cal Poly-SLO plus 8.5
The Big West visitors got within 5 points of UCLA earlier and have been flattered by Bruins results since. They bring decent experienced size off the bench, so if their three senior guards averaging 13.9, 12.4 and 10.0 ppg can hang in there, the Trojans will know they?ve been in a ballgame win or lose

USC* over Cal-Poly by 1 (Road dog Cal Poly, +9 points)

Cal Poly comes off a 30-point loss at St. Mary?s on Monday night,

93-63. So, why Cal Poly? Well, St. Mary?s is a team full of sharpshooters.

They made 19 of 31 three-pointers. Most teams don?t attempt 19

three-pointers in a game, let alone make 19 three-pointers!



USC is more of a rim-attacking team. Cal Poly is famous for its

zone. Well, maybe not famous. But they play one. It?s a lot harder

to attack the rim with consistent success against a team that is

well-drilled in a zone defensive system, than it is to do it vs.

man-to-man. Cal Poly is better equipped to compete in this particular

match-up, and USC?s offensive numbers have been going down steadily

since the early-season tournament games that are often track meets to

build stamina. USC, 71-70.
