Kentucky vs South Carolina College Basketball Betting Preview

Kentucky has continued their hot streak lately and have now won four straight and 12 of their last 14. In a tough road test against unranked Alabama, Kentucky looked strong, pulling out a 66-55 win on Saturday night. The Wildcats average over 81 points per game while allowing just 64. With no key injuries, the Wildcats should be ready to pounce on a South Carolina team near the bottom of the SEC. The only thing that can hold Kentucky back tonight is themselves.

South Carolina has really struggled lately and have lost five of their last eight games. The problem with the Gamecocks is their inability to defend. Their offense is solid, but their leading scorer, guard Erik Stevenson, averages just 11 points per game. South Carolina doesn’t have a player that can take over on the offensive side of the ball. They need complete team efforts to beat teams, and that just isn’t happening this year in a tough SEC. If South Carolina wants any chance, they need someone to carry them or for everyone to be shooting the lights out of the gym.

Kentucky vs South Carolina Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

While history points to the over being the safest pick, South Carolina’s offense has been incredibly inconsistent this year. In their last two games against teams worse than Kentucky, the Gamecocks have averaged just over 60 points per game. Kentucky would need to carry a lot of the burden for the total line if South Carolina’s offense flames out again.

With the moneyline favoring Kentucky so much, the spread is the best way to go. Kentucky is rolling and shows no signs of slowing down.
