South Carolina PK over Marquette
There is a lot to like about South Carolina in this game. This game is basically in their back yard and they have beaten some quality teams this year in Florida, Syracuse, and Michigan so this stage isn’t too big for them. They one of the best defensive teams in the country and are 5th in the nation at defending the three ball which is very important against this Marquette team who loves to shoot from beyond the arc. There is no doubt Marquette has better skilled players, but this isn’t street ball. Great defensive teams just find ways to win basketball games this time of year. If Marquette has an off shooting night, they aren’t winning this game. Marquette also has a very soft defense so I do expect this typically low scoring Gamecocks team to be able to score points here tonight. Take South Carolina.
