USC (8-7, 4-2) at UCLA (5-9, 2-4), 2, KACD (850), KEWS (1340), KMPC (1540)--Home-court advantage has been a recent factor in this series. The Trojans, coming off an 80-79 overtime loss at Washington, have not won at Pauley Pavilion since Jan. 24, 1997, losing their last four games there. UCLA, coming off a 76-64 victory at Washington State, probably needs to frustrate USC into turnovers and keep the score in the 60s to have a chance.
