Washington vs. USC odds

Spread: USC -10
Over/Under: 142.5
Moneyline: USC -520, Washington +380

Washington (13-11, 5-8 Pac-12) has slipped up with two straight losses and last fell to UCLA in a 70-61 setback on Thursday. The Huskies fell into a hole from the opening tip and trailed the entire way as the conference-leading Bruins maintained their edge throughout the evening. Keion Brooks provided 23 points but also five turnovers in the loss.

USC (16-6, 8-3 Pac-12) has maintained its proximity to the top of the Pac-12 standings with a three-game win streak and last took down Washington State in an 80-70 victory on Thursday. The Trojans were trailing by 13 at one point in the first half before storming back into the contest, grabbing complete control in the second half. Boogie Ellis led the way with 23 points and five rebounds in the win.

The Pick: Under 142.5
