USC has the advantage in several key areas over Arizona State, so our college basketball betting picks will pick the Trojans to cover in the Maui Invitational Final.The Maui Invitational Final greets us this afternoon when USC faces off against Arizona State for the championship.
USC held off Seton Hall for a tight win yesterday, and later that night, Arizona State scored an eye-popping 58 second-half points to defeat Washington State.The natural inclination in this matchup would be to take the Over with two high-powered offenses in a high-tempo game and two suspect defenses on the floor. However, some of that goes out the window when you consider the two teams are playing their third game in as many days and the situations surrounding those games. Because of this, I’m often inclined to lean into the team that has more clear paths to easy baskets. That’s quite clearly theOf the many advantages that jump out here, perhaps the one that is the most glaring is the simplest: the free-throw line. The Trojans’ large athletic prowess against their opponent has been on display more often than not this year, and it’s helped them to the fifth-highest free throw rate in the country. That’s quite an issue for anSo often in these types of environments, the tilting factors aren’t as granular. It’s the little things, like free-throw disparities, that can tilt the game as much as any other. Sure, I view the Trojans as having more overall talent, less shot volatility, and a serious physicality edge. That helps too. It’s just another reason why I expect them to cover, and I’d play this to -7. Even with tired legs, both defenses will struggle to defend. More importantly, they are particularly bad in transition. I expect a sloppy game that’s played at a rather quick pace, and when you couple that with USC going to the stripe so often, it’s a good environment for the Over.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
