USC Women's Basketball Vs Arizona: How To Watch, Odds, Predictions, And More
After the No. 18-ranked Utah Utes stopped your No. 7-ranked USC Women of Troy's win streak at seven on Sunday, the 21-5 Cardinal and Gold (11-5 in the Pac-12) are looking to resume their winning ways today, on the road against the 16-12 Arizona Wildcats (8-8 in the conference).
The action tips off at the McKale Center tonight in Tucson, at 5 p.m. PT. The two clubs last converged two weeks ago, in an 81-64 Trojans route, while JuJu Watkins and co. were in the midst of their win streak, which, incidentally was the club's best single-season conference win streak in 19 years.
USC is one of the toughest two-way threats in the country. The club is anchored offensively by the nation's second-leading scorer in freshman wing Watkins (28.2 points on .416/.348/.861 shooting splits), who has paced her team in scoring across 24 of the 25 contests she's played thus far. Defensively, springy junior center Rayah Marshall operates as the program's fulcrum inside. She's averaging 9.3 points on 47.3% shooting from the floor, 9.7 rebounds, two blocks, 1.5 assists and one steal per bout, and has emerged as the Trojans' No. 3 leader all-time in shots blocked (with plenty of time to still left to go).
You can tune in via Pac-12 Los Angeles, with Joan Bonvicini and Brian Webber on the call.
Per FanDuel, the Trojans are -4.5 favorites to steal the victory on the road. Look for them to obliterate that line. Let's call it a 65-56 W.
