It's a statistical dead heat and both teams are red hot: USC and Arizona will enter the Galen Center on fire. USC leads the Pac-10 with a four game winning streak, Arizona is right behind them with three consecutive wins. Both teams lost earlier in the season to #4 Kansas and #2 Memphis, but both teams have rebounded in their latest win-streaks to take down a top-10 school. USC's wins include an upset over then #4 UCLA. Arizona's includes an upset over #6, Washington State.
USC's got Mayo with 19.9 pts/G, Arizona's got Bayless with 19.9 pts/G. While Arizona has a near 4 point lead on scoring offense, USC bests Arizona's scoring defense by nearly four points. While Arizona ranks #2 in the conference in field-goal and #1 in three-point percentages, USC leads the conference on both counts defensively. Arizona's got Budinger, USC answers with Jefferson. USC shouts "Lewis!," "Hackett," and "Gibson!", Arizona screams back, "Hill!", "McClellan!" and "Wise!". It seems for every question raised by one team, the other has an answer. But the real question will be answered tonight.
Bot teams come in to the Galen Center red-hot, but only one team will leave with the victory.
