REASON FOR PICK: PLAY ON 5* Florida (-) vs. South Carolina, 9:00 PM EST
These two teams met just a few weeks ago on January 21st. Florida was a small road underdog and led the entire game, but misfired on a free throw with a few seconds left; South Carolina got the rebound, threw a quick full-court outlet pass and got the game-winning lay-up at the buzzer. That loss sparked a fire under Billy Donovan’s club and the Gators bounced back with 25, and 26 point wins consecutively before losing on the road to Tennessee on Saturday. This is a great revenge situation for Florida, to redeem themselves against South Carolina, and bounce back with a win after their last-game-loss vs. Tennessee.
Before their 16 point loss @Tennessee on Saturday, Florida had only three losses on the season, and all three were on the road or on a neutral court. They lost to #20 Syracuse by 6, bitter rival Florida State by 2 and that heart-breaker @South Carolina by 1. Florida is 13-0 at home this season winning by an average margin of 18.7 points while only giving up 60.9 points per game.
South Carolina is at an all-time high right now, and Florida will bring them down. The Gamecocks have won four straight; 3 of those were home wins vs. Florida, Mississippi and Vanderbilt, and a 1-point last second victory @Kentucky on Saturday. They now have to travel to Florida for their 2nd straight road game after a very emotional win @Kentucky (just their 2nd win @ Kentucky in 23 tries). This is the perfect situation for a let-down by the Gamecocks, against a Gator-squad out for revenge. Go with Florida!
