SC-TENN

[birdieman]

Huge SC fan here. This game scares me to death. I think Tenn is playing better ball than when these teams played earlier this year. If I had to bet (and I may) I would take Tenn. Tenn is very athletic and I feel like this will negate SC's advantage. Both of the teams are at the top in scoring in the league but this game will be won by the team that plays defense. Pearl said in an interview that his team needed to make that one extra pass and Horn said his team is playing better defense (15 or 16 blocks vs Kent). I like the under more than anything. I think SC comes out a little tight in this game. Best bet under, next best Tenn.

I would be of a mind to go with SC in this game. The kids took what Vandy did to them personally and will be very focused tonight. I'm sure Pearl went to school on what Vandy did but he doesn't have the talent to do the defencive part. Taylor (Vandy) shut down both Meeks (Ky) and Downey in the first half and that's where the games were won. If SC jumps out to an early lead the Tenn players will start rushing their shots. That's what Pearl is afraid of and that's the nature of his team. Been that way all year and I don't think he can change it over-night. Good luck to your Gamecocks.
