USC Basketball Vs Colorado: How to Watch, Odds, Predictions, And More

The Trojans seek vengeance.

Your 10-15 USC Trojans (4-10 in the Pac-12) are looking to avenge their 68-58 road loss to the 16-9 Colorado Buffaloes (7-7 in the conference) a month ago tonight, when they'll host the Buffs at the Galen Center. 

In that January 13th bout, the Trojans were without their starting backcourt of fifth-year senior guard Boogie Ellis and freshman Isaiah Collier, plus sometime-starting big man Joshua Morgan. Nevertheless, USC found itself up by 13 at halftime, before eventually being walloped in the second half.

11th-year Trojans head coach Andy Enfield is currently 215-144 overall with the program. He's just one victory shy of tying former head coach Bob Byd's 216 total wins with the Trojans. Will he nab it this evening?

The game tips off at 7 p.m. PT, and will be broadcast on ESPN. Commentators Dave Pasch and Sean Farnham will supply analysis. 

USC, which has struggled mightily this year amid a rash of injuries, is looking to cook up its first three-game home win streak of the season. Colorado, meanwhile, is smarting from a 64-60 defeat to the UCLA Bruins Thursday.

The Trojans' odds of even making the 2024 NCAA Tournament are slim, and at this stage wholly contingent on USC winning the Pac-12 Tournament outright.

Per The Action Network, the Buffaloes are considered -1  favorites to beat the home team. Look for Colorado to cover that spread. Let's call it a 65-60 win for the bad guys.
