USC won despite Oregon State shooting 52.9% (9-of-17) from beyond the arc.

The Trojans are 23rd in the county in adjusted defensive efficiency (93.6) and 25th in adjusted offensive efficiency (93.6).

Oregon vs USC Prediction

USC has won six of the last eight matchups, including beating Oregon 82-68 in the Sweet Sixteen of last year’s NCAA Tournament played in the Indianapolis bubble. Mobley had 13 points and six rebounds for the Trojans.

Oregon has found its footing after a rocky start to the season. While the Ducks may not get revenge and upend the Trojans, they should keep things close.

• The Pick: Oregon +6.5 (-110)
