USC vs. Oregon: Live stream info, playing time, how to watch, odds, picks, Pac-12 game predictions

The No. 5 USC Trojans will be aiming for their third win in two nights when they host the Oregon Ducks, who are looking to do the same on Saturday night.

USC (14-1, 4-1 Pac-12) got off to a fantastic start and just suffered their first loss of the season earlier this week when they went on the road and lost to the Stanford Cardinal . The Trojans got back on track with an 81-71 win over the Oregon State Beavers on Thursday night. They are led by Isaiah Mobley, who is averaging 15.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.

Oregon (10-6, 3-2 Pac-12) has already won two games this week, and they are coming off an overtime win over the No. 3-ranked UCLA Bruins on the road Thursday night. The Ducks’ strength comes from the offensive end, and the other end of the floor is ranked outside the top 100 in KenPom’s adjusted defensive efficiency. Oregon is very evenly balanced among its top six scorers, but Will Richardson leads with 13.6 points per game.

The choice

Less than 141.5

This will be Oregon’s third game in six days, and USC is entering its third game in five days. Needless to say, both teams will be tired in what has been a week-long slog, and I think that leads to fewer points scored. Both programs already rank outside the top 225 in possessions per game, and the combination of a slow pace with tired legs makes for solid underplay on Saturday night.
