Washington State at USC

The Washington State Cougars have done a good job padding the win column with some softies, but have a few notable wins as well vs. Baylor and Gonzaga. The last two however were against teams that like to slow things down in Butler and UCLA, and it has definitely had an impact on their play as they suffered back-to-back defeats. The Trojans like the methodical style as well as they have held nine teams in the 60s or less, and Washington State has shown vulnerability to this kind of team. The Cougars have had trouble getting off the mat after a loss where they are 8-20 ATS following a loss, and are now just 5-16 ATS vs. the Pac-10 in their last 21. This should be a close game, so I'm going with USC on the moneyline.
