Harding posted his second double-double of the season, closing with 10 points, 10 assists and four rebounds during Saturday’s rout of the Hoosiers. The 6-foot sophomore has started in all 16 games this season, averaging 9.8 points, two rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals on 26.1 minutes per game. Harding, who has taken a big leap in his second season with the program, will look to stay efficient against USC this Tuesday.

The 6-foot-3 sophomore guard has appeared in all 17 games (one start) this season, averaging 10.1 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal on 21.2 minutes per game. Mack will look to help the Bruins get back on track during Friday’s matchup with Iowa.

Iowa vs. UCLA CBB Prediction:

Take Iowa. The Bruins have been straight trash of late. It all started when they lost 66-58 at Nebraska. They followed that defeat up with a 94-75 home loss to Michigan. That was proceeded by head coach Mick Cronin calling out his team for being soft. The pep talk did nothing for the Bruins, who then lost 79-61 at Maryland. The losing did stop there for UCLA, which fell 75-68 at Rutgers. The Bruins shouldn’t be favored by 7 over any opponent right now, especially not a 12-5 Hawkeyes team.
