Prediction for the game.
This will be a close game as USC has won three of their last four games after losing back-to-back games to Michigan and Indiana. Look for UCLA to amp up their defensive pressure more than usual, and it would not be a surprise if former Trojan Kobe Johnson has a big game against his former team. The Bruins won the last time they played at the Galen Center, and they will pull out a one-point victory, defeating USC by a final score of 81-80.
