South Carolina Gamecocks vs Auburn Tigers prediction
The Auburn Tigers are the more talented team and have the offensive horses to blow teams away, especially at home, where they’re 12-0 SU this season. However, South Carolina is far from a pushover and has one of the best defenses in college basketball. The South Carolina Gamecocks are a good basketball team and have won 7 straight games. South Carolina is 18-6 ATS on the season and has covered 7 of its last 10 games. This line is crazy disrespectful toward the Gamecocks if we’re being honest. I just don’t get this line, as even if loses, South Carolina is physical enough to hang around and frustrate its opponent. Give me the points.
