Miami vs USC Preview
This game will be played in a neutral arena. Both teams are going to look to advance to the second round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament.
Miami Trying To Hit Their Stride
The Miami Hurricanes have been one of the more interesting teams in the country for most of the year. They’re one of those teams that can come out and play elite basketball, and other nights, they just don’t show the talent that they have on their roster. Nonetheless, Miami is in the March Madness Tournament now and they are hoping that things can click for them at the right moment.
Miami is going to be coming into this one after losing against the Duke Blue Devils in the ACC tournament, 80-76. They were able to get big production from Kameron McGusty as he finished with 24 points in the loss.
USC, Similar To Miami
The USC Trojans are another team that has kind of just been a weird team throughout the entire year. Similar to the University of Miami, this team has nights where they look like one of the better teams in the country, and then other nights where they look like an average team.
They’re going to be coming into this one playing below-average basketball as of late as they have lost three of their last four. USC lost to UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament, 69-59. Boogie Ellis was able to lead the way for the Trojans as he finished with 27 points in the loss.

Free March Madness Picks — Miami vs USC
For this game, I think I’m going to go with the University of Miami to win outright. I think that when they’re on top of their game, they can almost beat anybody in the country. The University of Southern California is an incredible program out west, but I think Miami just has a little more than them when they’re playing their best basketball.
I expect Miami to come out in this one and take care of business, although it is going to be an extremely close game.
