A tourney game in Hawaii makes for a long road trip for both squads. South Carolina isn't getting it done on offense, shooting .403% as a team (#325 in the country) while losing five of the last six contests. The Gamecocks are 0-3 away from home this season, averaging 57.7 points per game, and hitting just 35.6 percent from the floor in those contests. South Carolina is 5-2 UNDER the total in non-conference play, and the UNDER is 9-4 against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Saint Mary's has another powerhouse defensive team, and is off a 59-44 win for their ninth-straight victory to begin the season. The Gaels held American to just 41.9 percent from the floor, the exact same percentage that Saint Mary's has allowed its opponents to average through nine games. That number is even more impressive from behind the three-point line, as opponents are shooting just 27.3 percent from beyond the arc. Go with the UNDER.
