If you’re in love with the suddenly red-hot South Carolina Gamecocks and you’re thinking about betting on the seventh-seeded title contenders as they get set for Saturday’s Final Four matchup against top-seeded Gonzaga, then you need to gather as much expert information on the Gamecocks as possible.
Thanks to my expert college hoops betting breakdown on the Gamecocks, you’re going to be able to do just that. Now, let’s get started and find the latest NCAA basketball point spreads.
Analysis: The South Carolina Gamecocks haven’t been the most offensively explosive team this season in putting up a modest 73.2 points per game and they don’t shoot it particularly well from the field, behind the arc – or at the free throw line as you can see from the above chart.
However, since the start of the NCAA Tournament, the Gamecocks have been a lot more efficient and won their first two tourney games by hanging a whopping 93 points on Marquette and an equally impressive 88 points on second-seeded Duke, so clearly, South Carolina can score the ball when they really need to.
Analysis: While South Carolina isn’t the most prolific scoring team offensively, the Gamecocks have been downright phenomenal on defense, just as they were in ranking 31st in points allowed, 15th in field goal defense and a fantastic eighth in defending the three-point shot. South Carolina limited Florida to 70 points in their Elite Eight matchup one game after putting the clamps on Baylor in their 70-50 smackdown in the round of 32.
