Pick #1 South Carolina +5.5 (-104) at Fanduel Sportsbook

I know, I know - pretty awful selection tonight with the Volunteers seeking revenge from their earlier loss in January against these Gamecocks, BUT - I'm a glutton for punishment so lets do it!

Tonight's Tennessee vs South Carolina NCAA Basketball Game promises to be a riveting contest, backed by compelling statistics from both teams. Tennessee enters the matchup boasting an impressive record, with an average of 78.5 points per game and a stellar 46.2% field goal percentage. Led by standout players such as Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer, the Volunteers have demonstrated exceptional offensive prowess throughout the season. However, they face a resilient South Carolina defense, which has held opponents to an average of 67.3 points per game and boasts an impressive 7.1 steals per game. With top performers like A.J. Lawson and Jermaine Couisnard leading the charge, South Carolina aims to capitalize on turnovers and fast breaks to gain an edge. As these two teams collide on the court, I anticipate a thrilling showdown and what will be in the end a VERY Close Game: Tennessee by three, so give me the points:

The #1 Pick is the South Carolina Gamecocks +5.5 vs the Final Four bound Volunteers....
