This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on South Carolina.
For a number of different reasons I expect the home side to pull away down the stretch for a comfortable ATS cover in this one. USC starts a two-game SEC homestand with Tennessee first and then Columbia. Note that the Gamecocks are 7-2 at home this year, which includes a 1-1 mark in league play. South Carolina will be particularly motivated here after the way it fell last time out, it would battle back from a 10-point halftime deficit to tie the contest midway through the second half, but would ultimately end up falling 71-68 at Auburn on Saturday, dropping the Gamecocks to just 1-3 in SEC play. It wasn't all doom and gloom for USC though, as four players would score in double figures, the team hitting 50% overall from the floor. And a date in front of the home town crowd is just what the doctor ordered in my opinion as South Carolina is averaging 75.9 PPG in home contests this year, holding a 16.1 scoring margin over its opponents in those games. The Vols come in with an 11-5 record, including a 3-1 mark in league play; Tennessee has won two straight, including a 59-51 road win at Missouri on Saturday. In my opinion, clearly the Gamecocks are going to be the more motivated/hungry team today. Also note that to say this is a "revenge" game would be a bit of an understatement I think as South Carolina has lost 14-straight in the series. And from a scheduling stand-point, there's no question that South Carolina needs to take advantage today as next up it will host top-ranked Kentucky on Saturday. In my opinion, this line is a little low, play on the GAMECOCKS.
