USC at Utah

Both of these programs have been revealed to be part of the FBI investigation into NCAA Basketball. Benny Boatright has been lost for the season, and Chimezie Metu may be suspended for their game vs. Utah. The oddsmakers have overreacted to the news, and I like the Trojans on the road for this one. Utah has 18 wins on the season, and they are off of five straight wins, none bigger than Thursday's win over UCLA. I think the Utes could come in a bit flat here vs. USC, especially knowing the Trojans are short handed. Teams tend to play better on bad news, as other players elevate their game. Take USC.
