4-Unit Play. #556. Take South Carolina -4.5 over Alabama (Friday @ 3:30pm est)
We roll with South Carolina here as they hook up against Alabama in what should be a decent shot for Carolina to do well. This is a Carolina team that is top 5 in defense, top 40 in offensive rebounding, lost a brutal 4 overtime again to Alabama and will be highly motivated to do well here. This is a South Carolina team that also lost to Ole Miss on the road in their last game as well and with Alabama outside the top 250 in offensive efficiency and outside the top 170 in offense, this is a good spot here for South Carolina to get that revenge, secure their spot in the NCAA Tournament and pick up the big win.
For Thursday, 2000♦ Double-Your-Wager winner is Iowa State as the favorite against TCU. At 8:00 am eastern time, the Cyclones are -4 point favorites in Vegas and offshore.
Well, well, well, what do you know, TCU springs the big upset on Thursday, as they knock out the tourney's #1 seed Kansas, and now Iowa State has to be licking their chops to get after the Horned Frogs in tonight's game from the Sprint Center!
Not saying that TCU will be a pushover, but you and I know full well that Iowa State's chances of cutting the nets down in Kansas City just took a big turn with the Jayhawks now out of the way.
Look for Iowa State to be up for the occasion in this semifinal meeting with the Horned Frogs who had lost 7 in a row straight up with a 1-6 against the spread mark prior to their 2 tourney wins over Oklahoma and Kansas this week.
Included in their 7-game skid was a loss by TCU to Iowa State, 84-71 in Ames back on February 18th.
The Cyclones have dropped only one of their last 8 games straight up - that TCU meeting included - and they have been able to cover the spread in 6 of those 8 games. Yesterday's win over the peaking Oklahoma State Cowboys by the Cyclones showed me a little something, and I don't think Iowa State is going to be stopped by TCU tonight.
State has won 9 of the last 10 series meetings, and they have covered in 4 of the past 6 series meetings.
