Instant Analysis
The Trojans have one of the highest “Kill Shot” rates in the nation, as a 10-0 scoring run could spurt at any moment. USC lives in transition in offense, an area the Spartans are 190th in defending.
A bigger problem for Michgian State is a rank of 320th against catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, while USC is 57th nationally in hitting those perimeter shots.
