In an exciting Big Ten showdown this Saturday, the USC Trojans are set to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini at 12:00 p.m. ET in Champaign. The Trojans come into this contest looking to bounce back after suffering defeats in their last two outings, notably a tough loss to Indiana where they fell 82-69. With an average of 75.7 points per game, USC brings a formidable offensive line to the court, but will need to step it up after a recent slump.
Wesley Yates III shone brightly in the recent battle against Indiana, scoring 18 points, but the Trojans will need more than individual brilliance to halt their downward trend.
On the flip side, the Illinois Fighting Illini are riding high, having recently stretched their winning streak to five games after a commanding 91-52 victory over Penn State. They have showcased their scoring prowess throughout the season, with a staggering average of 87.9 points per game, ranking them in the top five nationally.
Illinois demonstrated sheer dominance against the Nittany Lions, with standout performances from Tre White, who netted 20 points along with seven rebounds, and Ben Humrichous, who was nearly perfect, scoring 21 points and just missing out on a double-double with nine rebounds. The Fighting Illini’s impressive teamwork was highlighted by 19 assists, dwarfed by Penn State's mere six.
Currently sporting a record of 12-3, Illinois has won six of their last seven matches, firmly establishing themselves as a powerhouse this season. As the two high-scoring teams prepare to face off, fans can expect an offensive duel to see who can outpace the other in what promises to be a thrilling matchup.
Last matches: Penn State Behrend Lions
The losing side was boosted by Wesley Yates III, who posted 18 points.
Meanwhile, Illinois waltzed into their game on Wednesday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They blew past the Nittany Lions, posting a 91-52 win. The Fighting Illini have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven contests by 32 points or more this season.
Illinois' victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Tre White, who went 7 for 12 en route to 20 points plus seven rebounds. Ben Humrichous was another key player, shooting 5-for-9 from long range and almost dropping a double-double on 21 points and nine rebounds.
Illinois was working as a unit and finished the game with 19 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Penn State only racked up six.
USC's defeat dropped their record down to 9-6. As for Illinois, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches, which provided a nice bump to their 12-3 record this season.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. USC hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 75.7 points per game. However, it's not like Illinois (currently ranked fifth) struggles in that department as they've been averaging 87.9. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
USC is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They are a gamble against the spread as they sit with a 5-10 ATS record.at sery ryh tujfhfg
