South Carolina at Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt has made it to this point of the season unblemished at 15-0. They can score in big bursts, and most of what they do is on the offensive end of the court and from beyond the arc where they are hitting 45%. They are going to meet a team in South Carolina tonight who can match them outside, as they hit 41% of their 3's, but are also a better defending team on the perimeter. Most will look at the SC loss to unknown NC-Ashville, and jump all over Vandy tonight. NC Ashville has a 7'6" 335 center that is a game changer and Ashville is 11-3 and not a joke. Downey and Fredrick have 127 assists between them, and have committed just 73 turnovers. The Gamecocks are certainly road warriors, as they have gone 22-4 ATS in their last 26 on the road vs teams with a winning prcentage of .600+. Vandy has been good in the win column, but the odds-makers are making them a difficult play on team, as they are severely over-valued. They have not been able to put two ATS wins together since November, and they will be in for a serious battle tonight. S. Carolina is 4-1 UNDER on the road this season where there scoring drops off 14 full points vs. their home games. This total is sky-high and we like the game to go UNDER.
