Oregon State is #32 in the RPI with six top-50 RPI wins and a strength of schedule of sixth in the nation. The Beavers have an outstanding spark plug guard in Gary Payton II (15.8 points per game, 7.7 rebounds per game, 5.3 assists), who does it all. Oregon State has fewer turnovers than its opponent in 15 of the last 16 Pac-12 games. They face a USC team that has stumbled badly down the stretch, losing five of six, including an 80-69 loss to Utah in its last home game. That also includes an 87-65 thumping loss at California on Sunday. Oregon State won the first meeting, 85-70, part of a 7-3-1 ATS run against USC, plus the dog is on a perfect 5-0 ATS run when they square off. Take Oregon State.
