USC vs Oregon Game Preview


Why USC Will Win

The Trojans are much, much better than they looked and played in the double-overtime win over an Oregon State team that – as we speak – has three wins this season.

The USC defense couldn’t seem to stop anything the Beavers tried to do, the offense didn’t have any luck from three, and again, that’s not what this team is normally about.

The threes are hit or miss, but the defense is usually amazing at holding things down on the outside and it’s outstanding on the boards.

Oregon doesn’t come up with enough rebounds, it’s not good enough on the offensive line, and now it’s getting a USC team that’s going to be well motivated to come up with a good performance.

Why Oregon Will Win

The Ducks are strong at home, coming up with the game it absolutely had to have with a 68-63 win over UCLA.

They’re not perfect, but the defense picked a great time to come up with one of its best performances of the season – especially guarding from three – and it has to do it all again.

Washington State went off on USC from three and almost pulled off a win. Oregon State hit 50% from the outside, and now it’s up to Oregon to be great from the outside.

It didn’t do much against UCLA, but it was on from the free throw line.

What’s Going To Happen

This isn’t a dominant Oregon team at home, but it’s strong enough.

It all comes down to whether or not the offense can figure out how to solve a USC that’s about to play with a whole lot more intensity than it showed in Corvallis.

USC knows how to win on the road, but it’s been shaky. The D will be great, but Oregon will rise up in yet another game it needs to have. It won’t be quite as strong as it was against UCLA, but it’ll hold on late by once again doing a great job on the free throw line.

Why Oregon Will Win

The Ducks are back to being themselves.

It’s a very athletic, very fun team that showed the heart and toughness to hold up against Luka Garza and the big Iowa squad in a 95-80 blasting in the second around.

The threes were falling, the team made more than 52% of their shots for the fifth time in seven games, and the offense was wonderful with assist after assist leading to easy points.

Oregon has the offense that USC doesn’t. The Trojans would prefer to play in a shell, rely on their defense, and grind this thing down to a dead stop at times. They can’t hit free throws, and …

Why USC Will Win

Yeah, that whole no offense thing with USC? Hanging up 85 on Kansas worked just fine.

In general, the Trojans would love to play this in the 60s while maintaining control throughout. There’s a great inside presence, the defense hold just about everyone to under 40%, and even though they don’t make them, they take them – they’re among the best teams in college basketball at getting to the line.

There aren’t a whole lot of wasted possessions, nailing well over half of their shots over the last six games to keep the pressure on teams to push.

It comes down to this – can Oregon hit enough threes to do this? USC is 17-2 when allowing seven or fewer made threes, and that includes ….

What’s Going To Happen

USC 72, Oregon 58. That’s what happened in late February when the Ducks were okay from three, were fine everywhere else, and … they couldn’t seem to stop the Trojans from scoring. Oregon made just seven threes and never got comfortable down by 21 at halftime.

USC won two games against teams that did nothing but jack up threes – UC Riverside and Cal Baptist combined to take 73 threes – but it’s 5-5 against everyone else who made eight or more from the outside, including dropping three to Colorado.

Here’s the flip side to the three thing. Oregon is 15-1 when it makes eight or more threes, and 6-5 when it doesn’t.

Oregon will make eight threes as it draws USC into a bit of an offensive fight.

The USC Trojans will host the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship on Friday evening from the LA Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

The USC Trojans will host the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship on Friday evening from the LA Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.

Oregon did not know they’d be playing in this game a week ago, the Washington Huskies were originally supposed to be playing in the Pac-12 Championship but with the virus issues, they had to back out of the game. The Ducks will be looking to repeat as conference champions without ever expecting to have a chance, welcome to 2020 folks!

USC is coming off a 43-38 win over rival UCLA last weekend and has won all five of their games in this shortened season. Kedon Slovis has had a fantastic year under center with the Trojans and he’ll need to have another great night to beat the Ducks defense and win the Pac-12.

This is always a fun one and this should be no different, here’s everything you need to know to stream the action tonight:
