[Travis Miller]

The Boilers look to stay in first place as USC comes to town.

No word yet on whether Desmond Claude is going to play. He's a key to their success.

PU is -13.5 right now. That suggests to me he isn't playing. But maybe CHI will chime in and give some intel on the spread. That just seems pretty high if he were playing.

That definitely assumes he's out. So I guess follow the line and see if it drops 2-3 points.

Not saying it is a trap game but it does have the markings. This team walking into Champaign and knocked around Illinois....I know Claude's status is in question but this is a Mussleman team and that dude is going to throw some hard defensive looks at us....

I personally would love this game to be the one where Colvin and Heide figure out their 3 point shooting and get some confidence heading into a tough stretch of games. Would also like to see Cox and Harris continue to find their place in the offense and keep building confidence.

I hadn't heard anything about him being injured but it doesn't look like he's playing. I don't have any player props for him and I do for Agbo and Saint Thomas. It is a big line. My site is at -13. Fanduel had 12.5 and I brought it down to 7.5 among other things.

If Cox and Harris continue as they have, there's not much room for Heide and Colvin. Heide has done better than Myles though and could be the 7th-8th guy off the bench. I sadly think Myles' ship has sailed.

Heide will play because he plays the four and we don’t have any other options there.

Musselman will prolly throw double teams at Braden and TKR and make the other 3 beat them

Loyer might be due for a 15-20 point night, I would think the focus will be to stop TKR and Braden, guessing Fletcher gets some open looks.
