Gamecocks Top Volunteers
This is going to be a very interesting basketball game. Can anyone slow down the Volunteers right now? They look like they could be a legitimate national title contender this season. South Carolina is having a heck of a season as well. With the Gamecocks at home, we are going to side them here.
Teams sometimes lose just before the tournament, and it is just what they needed. Maybe that will be what the doctor ordered for the Volunteers this season. Our final bet for this game is the South Carolina Gamecocks +168 on the moneyline over the Tennessee Volunteers.
Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your NCAA Basketball betting!
