Why Bet on South Carolina?

The South Carolina Gamecocks are looking for their fifth straight win. The last loss for South Carolina came on the road at Memphis. South Carolina is scoring 71.7 points per game, anchored by P.J. Dozier with 14.9 per game. The Gamecocks have been one of the top defensive teams in the nation; allowing just 59.8 per game. South Carolina’s two other losses outside of Memphis were to the Clemson Tigers and the Seton Hall Pirates. The Gamecocks are unbeaten in conference play, but have played one less game than Florida and Kentucky. South Carolina is seeking their 9th trip to the NCAA tournament in school history.

Why Bet on Florida?

The Florida Gators are red hot. The Gators have three losses on the season, which came to Gonzaga, Duke and Florida State, all ranked teams. Florida in their 7 game winning streak scored 80 or more, 6 of those games. On the season, the Gators are scoring 79 points per game. The Gators top scorer is guard KeVaugh Allen. The guard is scoring 13.9 points per game, in just shy of 29 minutes played per game. The Gators have a home game against Vanderbilt next, before going on the road for two straight games at LSU and Oklahoma.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

This is going to be an interesting college basketball game. Both of these teams are going to compete for the SEC, but likely finish below the Kentucky Wildcats. South Carolina has been really good at home, but Florida seems to be too hot. Look for Allen to have a big game offensively to lead the Gators. Florida wins this game, and remains unbeaten. They have a date against the Kentucky Wildcats coming up in the early part of February, and will play them twice during the month. Florida would love to remain unbeaten, and set up a huge game. The bet for this game is the Florida Gators +1.5 over South Carolina.
