Arizona comes into Thursday’s matchup in Tucson with USC having won and covered four of its past five games, but the Wildcats will be facing one of the few teams in the country that has a pair of players who can dominate the glass.

For the Trojans, Onyeka Okongwu and Nick Rakocevic are combining to average 17.6 rebounds per game with Okongwu also ranking as one of the nation’s top shot blockers with three blocks per game.

Arizona is able to counter with Zeke Nnaji, who is scoring 16.2 points and grabbing 8.8 rebounds per game, but USC should have an edge there while its biggest weakness gets left unexposed.

The Trojans are 264th in the country in turnovers on a per-possession basis but Arizona rates just 135th in steals per offensive play on defense.

USC figures to be able to get plenty of clean possessions and have an advantage on the boards, which should send the Trojans to their sixth cover in eight games.

The play: USC, +10.
