It's the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis, and No. 14 seed USC comes in having lost eight of 10 after scoring 63 points in a loss to rival UCLA. The offense is 12th in the 18-team Big Ten in scoring. The Rutgers offense is 11th in scoring, 15th in shooting (44.7%), 13th from 3-point land (33.4%), and 13th from the free-throw line (71.6%). They're also last in the Big Ten in assists. Tournament time means teams often turn to defense with so much at stake. Rutgers played one Big Ten tournament game last year, a 65-51 loss to Maryland, and this total is too high. Take USC/Rutgers UNDER the total.
