Oregon Ducks vs South Carolina Gamecocks Point Spread Picks

Oregon finished the regular season with a 66-65 win over Utah and then the Ducks sailed through the Pac-12 Tournament capped by a 75-68 victory over Colorado. N'Faly Dante led the Ducks with 25 points and they won despite hitting only two of 17 3-point tries. Oregon stepped it up defensively allowing only 64.5 points per game their last four games. South Carolina had a much better season than expected with a 26-7 record, but the Gamecocks had a couple of blowout losses to Auburn, including 86-55 to knock them out of the SEC Tournament and an earlier 40-point loss on Feb. 14. The Gamecocks scored only 26 points in the first half on Friday when Auburn held them to 28 percent shooting and three of 12 from 3-point range. South Carolina led the SEC defensively in points allowed per game with 67.0, but it has had lapses on offense such as the games against Auburn and a 66-59 loss to Tennessee on March 6 when the Gamecocks scored 24 first-half points and shot 38 percent for the game. The Ducks come into the game with momentum. Take Oregon on the moneyline, and book the first half and the full game to stay UNDER.
