South Carolina at Missouri picks and predictions

Prediction

Missouri 38, South Carolina 31

Moneyline

PASS.

South Carolina just hasn’t played as well as expected against SEC opponents, and on the road, it will struggle to win this one. However, Missouri is 0-1 in SEC play at home, rendering its -310 tag unplayable.

Ultimately, pass both options on the moneyline.

Against the spread

LEAN SOUTH CAROLINA +7.5 (-110).

South Carolina is 1-1 ATS on the road in SEC play and was a double-digit underdog in both games. It has scored 37 or more points in 2 of 3 its last 3 games, so the explosive, Rattler-led offense should be able to score and keep pace with a dynamic Missouri attack.

The Tigers gave up 21 to Vandy and Kentucky and 49 to LSU all within the last 3 weeks. It is 0-1 ATS at home against SEC opponents and 1-3 ATS at home against all opponents. It hasn’t made its home a fortress and may struggle to win by multiple scores.

Take SOUTH CAROLINA +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 59.5 (-110).

Missouri is 6-1 O/U this season. It has a high-octane offense that has scored 30-plus points in 6 of 7 games and a defense that has allowed 20-plus points in 5 straight games. It is 3-0 O/U in SEC play as well.

South Carolina is 4-2 O/U and have gone Over in 3 straight games. It is 3-1 O/U in SEC play and has scored at least 37 points in 3 of its last 7 games, allowing 40-plus points in 2 straight.

Expect this to be a fast-paced battle. Take OVER 59.5 (-110).

South Carolina at Missouri: Three things to know

  1. On Saturday, both the Gamecocks and Tigers returned from COVID shutdowns. South Carolina has had a few breaks in their schedule and did not play between Dec. 5-Jan. 2. The Gamecocks lost, 85-80, at LSU on Saturday. Missouri has had a more normal slate, but the Tigers had a 10-day layoff leading up to a 68-52 win over Texas A&M on Saturday.
  2. Missouri has held foes to an SEC-best 39.4% accuracy mark from the floor. Over their last three games, the Tigers’ opponents are shooting just 37.3% from behind the arc. Drilling down on shot-type analytics for the season Mizzou has been especially effective defending along the perimeter: opponents are shooting just 27.4% from 3-point distance.
  3. South Carolina plays an up-tempo style of basketball, with USC games averaging nearly 74 possessions. That’s up slightly from last season, and the Under is 4-2 in the Gamecocks’ six games. Missouri has played a schedule of mostly slow-tempo teams. Three opponents — Arkansas, Illinois, Oral Roberts — stand out like rabbits in the pace game. Mizzou logged ATS wins against all three (Over 2-0-1).

South Carolina at Missouri: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Missouri 76, South Carolina 69

Money line (ML)

PASS: look for a better value with the Tigers minus the points.

Against the spread (ATS)

South Carolina was solid in playing LSU tough on the road on Saturday. The Gamecocks were successful on the offensive glass in collecting the ATS win. And now they’re perhaps a bit overrated in this spot. A second straight road performance coming against a strong defensive team like Missouri seems unlikely.

TAKE THE TIGERS -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

There’s only the slightest Over lean here: PASS.
