USC comes into this game with a bad taste in their mouth, as after a 12-1 start, they put up a startlingly poor performance in their last game, resulting in a 96-66 road loss against No. 2 Michigan. The usually prolific Trojan offense struggled, falling well below their season average of 87.7 points per game, due to poor shooting all over the floor, making just 34.5% of their field goal attempts, 21.7% from the 3-point line. Reserve Jaden Brownell was a bright spot, coming in to score 16 points off the bench, making two 3-pointers, and pulling down six rebounds, both tied for the team lead.
The Spartans also started the season 12-1 and lost their previous matchup, but in a much different fashion. Michigan State played a grinding, gritty game against the undefeated No. 13 Nebraska Cornhuskers, nearly coming out with a road win, losing 58-56. The Spartans were very top-heavy, as the starters accounted for all but three of the team’s points. Jaxon Kohler led the team with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals, making 5-of-6 shots from the 3-point line.
This is a great NCAA Men’s Basketball matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
