#10 Miami Hurricanes vs #7 USC Trojans. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Miami Hurricanes. USC had a good season, but I’m not sold on the Trojans this season because they’ve only scored 66.6 points per game in their previous five matches.

Miami can struggle defensively, but they have an explosive offense, and I’m picking Miami and the points because I believe the Hurricanes are the more balanced club. The #10 Miami Hurricanes will win to a predicted score of 71-69.
