South Carolina in Missouri: three things to know
- On Saturday, the Gamecocks and Tigers returned from the COVID outages. South Carolina had some breaks in their schedule and did not play between December 5 and January. 2. Gamecocks lost, 85-80, at LSU on Saturday. Missouri had a more normal picture, but the Tigers had a 10-day layoff before the 68-52 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday.
- Missouri kept its opponents with the SEC’s best accuracy mark of 39.4%. In the last three games, Tigers’ opponents are shooting only 37.3% from behind the bow. Detailing the analysis of the type of kick for the season Mizzou has been especially effective in defending along the perimeter: opponents are shooting at just 27.4% from a distance of 3 points.
- South Carolina plays an accelerated style of basketball, with USC games averaging about 74 possessions. That’s slightly above last season, and Under is 4-2 in the six Gamecocks games. Missouri has been playing a slow-paced team schedule. Three opponents – Arkansas, Illinois, Oral Roberts – stand out as rabbits in the rhythm game. Mizzou recorded ATS victories against all three (Over 2-0-1).

South Carolina in Missouri: odds, bet lines, predictions and choices
Prediction
Missouri 76, South Carolina 69
Moneyline (ML)
PASS: look for a better value with Tigers without points.
Against spread (ATS)
South Carolina was solid in playing tough LSU on the road on Saturday. Gamecocks were successful in the offensive glass by collecting the ATS victory. And now they are a little overrated at this location. A second consecutive performance on the road against a strong defensive team like Missouri seems unlikely.
TAKE THE TIGERS -5.5 (-110).
Up / Down (O / U)
There is only the lightest Over lean here: PASS.
