Despite South Carolina winning their last game, both teams are struggling heading into tonight’s game. Carolina beat Florida 70-69 on a miraculous play. Florida missed a free throw which was rebounded by Carolina. They went the length of the court and made a game-winning layup with at the buzzer. Had they lost, it would have been their third consecutive loss. They go from being an underdog in those games to a double digit favorite which is a tall task. “You look at Ole Miss, they’re a dangerous basketball team,” Carolina head coach Darrin Horn said. “They’ve got two explosive guards, they’ve got bigs that can put it on the floor and make plays.” Ole Miss is trouble. Like Florida, the Rebels have a lean and long lineup, their guards standing at 6-foot-5, 6-6 and 6-5. Like Florida, the Rebels have the tendency to cut backdoor and shred the Gamecocks’ defense with easy baskets which will allow them to hang around in this game. Play Mississippi plus the points.
