The Arizona Wildcats (19-8, 9-5 Pac-12) set out on their final road trip of the season when they visit the USC Trojans (19-9, 8-7) on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
Tip off is set for 8 p.m. MT with the game being shown on ESPN.
Below are our staff predictions:
Brian J. Pedersen — Arizona wins 71-65
Yes, Arizona nearly blew a 20-point lead against USC earlier this month. But that was much more about the Wildcats than the Trojans. USC has been on a downswing for the past four weeks, losing five of seven, and might be playing itself out of an NCAA tournament bid.
