USC Upstate at South Alabama

This matchup is from the second round of The Basketball Classic. South Carolina Upstate has played their best ball of the season late in the year. This is a team that has a losing record but they have really changed. They are still just 15-16 on the season, but that is misleading as they are 5-2 in their last seven, and won their opening-round game in The Basketball Classic as a 10.5 point underdog giving them three straight up wins as a dog or pick in those seven contests, South Alabama better be careful here. The Jags are 20-11 on the season, but just 5-5 in their last 10 games. They have lost three games as a favorite in the stretch including one as a 12.5 point favorite. This game is a lot closer than it looks. Make the play on South Carolina Upstate on the moneyline.
