ATS: South Carolina Gamecocks +7 (-110)
LOSS for -4 unit(s)

South Carolina Gamecocks at Tennessee Volunteers

4* NCAAB *BEST BET* on South Carolina +7

Off back-to-back games against the league's best (Florida and Kentucky), South Carolina will be primed for a showdown with a Tennessee team it wants badly.

The Gamecocks return 4 starters who suffered 4 and 6-point losses to the Vols last season.  Those narrow defeats will be the driving force behind an inspired performance tonight.

South Carolina is a little bit better than its record might lead you to believe.  It's just 1-7 in conference play but 5 of those losses came to Florida, Kentucky and Vandy.

The Gamecocks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, and the road team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in this matchup.  It is also worth noting the Gamecocks are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Tennessee.  Take the points.

4* NCAA Championship SMASH on Kansas +6.5 Kentucky has won each of its NCAA Tournament games by at least 8 points and defeated the Jayhawks by 10 points as a 6.5-point favorite earlier this season. Yet, the Wildcats are just laying 6.5 points here. The books clearly want the ... read more

Ohio State Buckeyes @ Kansas Jayhawks Saturday March 31, 2012 8:49 pm
5* Final Four *BEST BET* on Ohio State -2.5 The Buckeyes lost to Kansas in Lawrence by 11 points back in December, but Jared Sullinger didn't play in that contest. On a neutral floor and with Sullinger in the lineup, I fully expect the Buckeyes to have their revenge. Consider ... read more

3* Final Four SMASH on Louisville +9 Louisville played Kentucky to a 7-point game Dec. 31 while holding the Wildcats to a season-low 29.8 percent shooting. Kentucky is a better team than it was then, but so is Louisville. It that contest, the Cards hounded the Kentucky guards ... read more

Stanford Cardinal @ Minnesota Golden Gophers Thursday March 29, 2012 7:00 pm
Tuesday, the Golden Gophers defeated Pac-12 regular season champion Washington. Tonight, I have them taking down the team that finished 7th in the Pac-12. Keep in mind that Stanford played Washington this season and was defeated by 13 points. Also, Minnesota defeated USC (the other ... read more

Massachusettes Minutemen @ Stanford Cardinal Tuesday March 27, 2012 7:00 pm
4* NIT SMASH on Massachusetts +2.5 UMass is being undervalued here. The Minutemen have been underdogs in 5 straight games and are 4-1 in those contests with the only defeat being a half-point ATS loss to St. Bonaventure. They have upset wins on the road over Mississippi State, ... read more

Baylor Bears @ Kentucky Wildcats Sunday March 25, 2012 2:20 pm
4* Elite 8 SMASH on Baylor +8 Baylor has been a tremendous investment in the underdog role under coach Drew at 70-51 ATS. Look for the Baylor Bears to keep this one within the number Sunday. The value clearly lies with Baylor here as it enters off a hard-fought win over Xavier ... read more

Ohio State Buckeyes @ Syracuse Orange Saturday March 24, 2012 7:05 pm
3* Elite 8 SMASH on Syracuse +2.5 The value clearly lies with Syracuse here. The Orange barely escaped Wisconsin while the Buckeyes won rather easily against Cincinnati. Naturally, the public is jumping on the Buckeyes following that performance. We won't do the same. First of ... read more

Florida Gators @ Louisville Cardinals Saturday March 24, 2012 4:30 pm
4* Elite 8 *BEST BET* on Florida -1 One thing you don't want to make a habit of is going against the Gators when odds makers anticipate a close game. That's because they are 9-2 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons, winning these contests by an average score of ... read more

North Carolina State Wolfpack @ Kansas Jayhawks Friday March 23, 2012 10:17 pm
5* NCAA Tournament Game of the Year on Kansas -8.5 Odds makers clearly want the money on NC State by installing the red-hot Wolfpack as nearly a double-digit dog. We won't take the bait. Kansas is the more talented team, and it will be very focused here after getting a scare by ... read more

Ohio Bobcats @ North Carolina Tar Heels Friday March 23, 2012 7:47 pm
4* Sweet 16 SMASH (TBS) on Ohio +10.5 UNC is likely Kendall Marshall, and he won't be himself even if he does try to play. Without Marshall, the Tar Heels find themselves at a disadvantage against an Ohio squad that is forcing more than 17 turnovers a game and ranks fourth in the ... read more
