Georgia at South Carolina

You need defense this time of the college basketball season and Georgia has it, allowing 55 and 64 points the last two games. One of those was a 61-55 win at Florida as a +11 dog, allowing 37.5% shooting. The Gators were five of 21 from three-point range and were outscored 34-22 in the paint. Georgia's previous four losses came against teams expected to make the NCAA Tournament, and all came down to the wire against LSU, Mississippi State, Mississippi and Auburn. They are a dog again to a banged up and .500 South Carolina squad on a 5-7 straight up slide. That included a 68-62 loss in their last home to game Alabama as a favorite. South Carolina players have missed a combined 119 games this season and only had seven scholarship players available for Tuesday's game at Texas A&M, so back the visitors to pull another upset. Play Georgia on the moneyline.
