Grab the points and play the Southern Cal Trojans in their regional semifinal matchup with the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The Ai Simulator grades this play 3* on USC. This team is vastly underrated and they have superior quickness and speed.
UNC has size, but size alone does not win games in the Sweet 16 and beyond. No question UNC has a huge an advantage on the boards, but that does not diminish USC's strong play. USC is 10-1 against the spread when they grab 4-9 fewer rebounds than their opponents in a game this season. I think USC will upset the Tarheels and advance to the Elite 8.
AiS shows a 73% probability that USC will lose this game by 8 or fewer points. USC plays their best against the elite teams. Note that USC is 8-0 ATS vs. top caliber teams outscoring their opponents by 12+ points per game this season. USC is 8-1 ATS when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) this season.
Play: USC +8½
