By Marc Lawrence, PlaybookSports.com — From this year’s PLAYBOOK March Madness Tournament Guide: Despite beating some of the top squads in the country (Kentucky, Maryland, Indiana) and finishing the regular season with an 11-8 record in Big Ten play, this is not one of Tom Izzo’s vintage teams.
Enter Southern Cal and its 8-1 SU and 9-0 ATS record in games when both USC and its opponent lock horns after each team was tripped up as a favorite in its previous game. In addition, the Pac-12 is on a 5-0 SUATS run against Big Ten teams in this event.
This has the look and feel of the wrong team favored. Trojans in a cover up!
