Scott Spreitzer's CBB ODDSMAKER BLOWOUT G.O.Y.! *11-2, 85%!
I'm laying the points with South Carolina on Thursday. It's a battle for the SEC East and a shot at revenge for the Gamecocks. USC coach Darrin Horn called his team's first half performance earlier this season against Tennessee, his team's worst half of basketball of the season. I don't believe it was "coach-speak." USC couldn't hit water from a boat during that first half and trailed by as many as 19-points. But they regrouped at the break and fought back before finally losing by just three points, 82-79. The Gamecocks lost at Vandy last time out. We had the Commodores in that contest. It was a great spot to play against USC. But they return home where they have won eight in a row by an average margin of 10.5 ppg. They have been doing a good job of running teams out of the gym, so to speak. But they have also proved that they can win by a decent margin in slow tempo games, whipping Auburn, 68-56. It's important to note that the Vols will try to run with South Carolina. That's because the Gamecocks have covered four in a row against teams that score more than 76 ppg...which of course, the Vols do. USC is 16-1 SU at home this season where they not only score 80 ppg, but also play a tenacious style of defense. They hold their "guests" to 40.8% shooting, including just over 30% from behind the arc. They're also forcing a whopping 21 turnovers per game, while allowing just 11 assists per game. Meanwhile, the Vols give up 76.5 ppg on the road on 48% shooting, also allowing seven made treys per game at a 36% clip. Finally, South Carolina has been tremendous bouncing back from a double-digit loss. They are a perfect 7-0, 100% ATS in this situation and as mentioned, they're off a 13-point defeat at Vanderbilt. Look for South Carolina to roll to the win and cover on Thursday. The Gamecocks are my Oddsmaker Blowout GOY. Thanks! GL! Scott
