DraftKings: Bet Oregon to beat South Carolina in NCAA Tournament
Grace McDermott writes: “With Dante healthy and back in his rhythm, the Pac-12 champs are primed for a classic March upset here. The Ducks heated up in the conference tournament while South Carolina saw an early exit in a bad loss. The two teams are fairly evenly matched at KenPom, so take the one with more momentum.”
It writes: “South Carolina has covered 23 times in 33 chances against the spread this season. Oregon has compiled a 16-18-0 record against the spread this year. The 72.0 points per game the Gamecocks put up are just 0.1 more points than the Ducks allow (71.9).”

Action Network: Take Oregon with the points against South Carolina
Sean Paul writes: “Getting the ball inside to N’Faly Dante has proven to be a successful strategy. He went off for 25 points on 12-for-12 shooting against Colorado. South Carolina could struggle to stop the 6-foot-11, 230-pound phenom. The opening line is closer than you’d expect from a 6 vs. 11 matchup with South Carolina favored by just 1.5 points. I’m backing the Ducks here – it feels like an outstanding spot for a surging team.”

REPORT: Former Gamecock MBB Center Josh Gray Transfers To SEC Foe
In this new era of college athletics mixed with the transfer portal, depending on the program, the portal will giveth, but the portal will taketh also. In the case of Lamont Parisand South Carolina’s Men’s Basketball program this offseason, they’ve endured both, securing commits from Alabama’s Nick Pringle, Missouri’s Jordan Butler, and the MEAC Player of the Year in Norfolk State’s Jamarii Thomas. However, the Gamecocks have also lost their leading scorer from last season, guard Meechie Johnson, to Ohio State, along with guard Ebrima Dibba, who landed at Cleveland State.
Center Josh Gray was the last portal entry from Carolina who had yet to land, but that all changed on Sunday evening. As first reported by Joe Tipton of On3 Sports, the Brooklyn native has committed to the Missouri Tigers, effectively making the Gamecocks’ acquisition of Jordan Butler a trade, so to speak. South Carolina defeated the Tigers in both meetings last season by a combined point margin of +10.
