Premium Pick

A tough matchup for a small Miami team. The Hurricanes are 14-2 straight up when the team hits 48% or better of its shots, 9-8 when they don't. USC is a powerhouse defensive team allowing teams to hit 48% or higher just five times in 33 games. Miami got outrebounded 40-31 by Duke in its last game, losing 80-76. Miami is 7-16-1 ATS at neutral sites, 1-6 ATS in Big Dance games. USC has a frontcourt of 6-10 junior Isaiah Mobley (14.3 ppg, 8.5 rpg) and 6-9 senior Chevez Goodwin (11 ppg) along with 11 players who participated in last year's Elite Eight run, a team that beat Drake, Kansas, and Oregon by 16, 34, and 14 points. USC is 26-13 ATS away from home against winning teams, plus 32-17 ATS versus opponents who get outrebounded by 4+ boards per contest. Play USC as a Max Play.
