USC and UCLA meet at Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday night in a rivalry game that’s priced like UCLA is the side with more control, laying -6.5 at home. The records are identical at 18-9, but the splits tell the story the market is betting. USC has held up well away from home at 7-4, while UCLA has been a different team in this building at 15-2.

St. Francis (PA) heads to the Jeffery P. Hazell Athletics Center in West Haven, Connecticut to take on New Haven on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET.
