Mizzou vs South Carolina
One has to look at this game in its proper perspective, both team stink, and when you have 2 bad teams playing, and there is a large point spread, you have to look at reasons for taking the underdog in that scenario. Missouri has a new coach, who by the way won a Division II national title last year at Central Missouri, and they have yet to find an identity as a team this entire season, and Mizzou has always been known as a contender in basketball dating back to the Big 12 days, but this year’s team does not really have a player who can score or be called a “go to” guy. South Carolina has better numbers heading into this game and play better defense and Frank Martin, their head coach, has been around the block so to speak so he knows how to coach post season tourneys.
All that said South Carolina beat Mizzou by 5 at home this year, but this is a neutral floor and both teams will come into this game knowing their next game will be their last, and I feel this contest is more evenly matched than most see on the surface. Mizzou is 1-4 in neutral floor games this year SU, and South Carolina is 2-2. Namon Wright is a true frosh for MU who has seen significant playing time late in the season that has provided a spark on this young team, including 28 points against Florida, and I feel with his shooting range from 3 point land that Mizzou can hang in here in what looks to be a low scoring affair where points will be at a premium. I will take the big points here tonight in a battle of SEC bottom feeders.
South Carolina 66 Mizzou 62 - TAKE MIZZOU +8
