USC vs. Colorado State: College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Wednesday)
USC is amid a five-game winning streak and earned tons of praise for its latest upset of Auburn. However, Colorado State’s last victory over Saint Mary’s is equally impressive and going much more under the radar. Isaiah Stevens, John Tonje, and Isaiah Rivera are the best trio of guards in the Mountain West. Their versatility is a big reason the Rams rank in the top 13 in both effective field goal percentage and turnover percentage. In addition, all are shooting better than 43% from 3-point range, which is a necessity against a Trojans defense that walls off the paint (fifth-best 2-point percentage defense in the country). In addition, it is nearly impossible to get anything in transition against the Rams, as they eschew offensive rebounds (362nd in offensive rebounding percentage) to get in the proper position for transition defense.
Bet: Colorado State +2.5 (-105 at DraftKings)
