No. 17 USC is unlikely to catch No. 3 Arizona at the top of the Pac-12 standings before the end of the season, but in order to maintain its second place position, it needs a win on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET against Washington State. The Cougars are 5-3 on the road this season, but the Trojans are 12-2 at home and narrowly defeated Washington State in the previous game between the two, 63-61. Wazzu's Michael Flowers leads the Pac-12 in three-point shooting, and has made 66 buckets from downtown this season, including three in the last meeting with USC.

The Trojans are favored by seven points in the latest Southern California vs. Washington State odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over-under is set at 132.5.
