Chad Baker-Mazara transfers to USC after helping Auburn reach the Final Four
Chad Baker-Mazara is transferring to the USC Trojans after helping Auburn reach the Final Four. The 6-foot-7 forward started 34 of 38 games for the Tigers last season, averaging 12.3 points and 3.0 rebounds while earning All-SEC third-team honors. The Tigers lost 79-73 to eventual national champion Florida in the national semifinals, with Baker-Mazara scoring 18 points. "He's a proven winner and will be a player that we can play all over the floor," USC coach Eric Musselman said Tuesday. "Chad will be one of the best returning players in the country this year. Chad plays with incredible passion and emotion that can lift a home crowd." Baker-Mazara, who is from the Dominican Republic, started nine of 35 games in his first season with the Tigers. He was selected to the SEC All-Tournament team. He previously played at Northwest Florida State College and Duquesne before transferring to San Diego State as a sophomore. He was the Mountain West's sixth man of the year and helped the Aztecs to a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Baker-Mazara is the sixth player to join USC for next season via the transfer portal.

The Commodores picked up an 86-78 win over the Texas Longhorns Saturday, cashing as a 3-point favorite as the Over (149.5) cashed.

The Tigers should be super angry after falling in front of the home fans against the Gators last time out. Vanderbilt (+310) isn't likely to offer much in the way of resistance, as it is terrible in field-goal defense (45.2%) and 3-pointer defense (37.0%), ranking in the bottom third in the nation in both categories. Still, while it looks like a certainly Auburn will rebound, Vanderbilt has topped the likes of the Kentucky Wildcats, Tennessee Volunteers and Texas during its 4-game home win streak. PASS.

The Tigers were embarrassed at home, so they're likely to take the court in Nashville with a bit of a chip on their shoulders. While Vanderbilt +8.5 (-105) has sprung some big upsets at home in the past couple of weeks, the Tigers are an entirely different animal, pun intended. OVER 156.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for Vandy, while going 5-1 across the past 6 outings. The Over has cashed in 4 straight for Auburn, too. While the series trends suggest an Under play, results this season in recent weeks trump results from season's past, in terms of importance. Want to play some games of your own?
