USC vs. Rutgers Game Preview

United Soccer Club of California takes on Rutgers University for a basketball preview matchup on both coasts.

USC has recently shown signs of inconsistency on defense, giving up an average of 76.4 points per game. However, when they score over 75.9 points they are 15-5 against the spread - so should be able to cover this low number against Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Rutgers has seen significant improvement on offense this season, led by Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. Rutgers also features a formidable backcourt of Desmond Claude and Wesley Yates who combined for 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game - an impressive performance indeed!

Rutgers and USC both started off strong but have seen their seasons falter down the stretch, respectively. Rutgers has been more consistent since midway through and won several key games over that span. This matchup between two teams looking for tournament runs should help both find their footing. USC started strong but has suffered losses whereas Rutgers was far more reliable down the stretch and earned some crucial wins.

Rutgers defeated USC by an 11-point margin earlier in the season, 95-85 on Feb 23. Since then, they've strengthened and should take advantage of some of USC's weaknesses - their 34.8 percent 3-point shooting and strong bench production (3.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg) could prove pivotal in this matchup; USC must step up their defensive efforts if they're going to cover under in this matchup; they are 9-7 against the spread overall and 12-4 when giving up 76.4 points or less this season.
