Our Kansas State Wildcats vs USC Trojans Prediction
This game is very evenly matched, with USC as a slight favorite. This is likely because of the Juju Watkins injury. Despite this, the Trojans still look to be a solid betting option. USC has plenty of talent ready to step up, most notably, Kiki Iriafen, who just scored 36 points in the second round and is averaging 24.5 points for the tournament.
The Trojans will no doubt miss Watkins as she is their best player, and this could become an issue in a potential Elite 8 game. However, even without Watkins, the Trojans look to be the better team. For that reason, our Kansas State Wildcats vs USC Trojans prediction is USC ML.
