Tennessee vs. South Carolina CBB Prediction:
Tennessee looks to win it’s seventh straight contest, while the Gamecocks look to make it four in a row.
Take the Gamecocks. South Carolina does not allow any easy buckets and can shoot the long ball especially at home. They have already defeated Tennessee in Knoxville this year and I fully expect the Gamecocks to have another strong showing in front of a sold-out Colonial Life Arena. Meechie Johnson has emerged as a star for USC this season and they have the pieces around him to hang around with nearly every team in the country. Back the home dog.
