Moneyline Pick: Tennessee (-1100) - A+
Tennessee charges into this matchup on a three-game winning streak, buoyed by a healthy rotation despite a minor injury concern for their center (C), who has recently overcome an ankle tweak. South Carolina, meanwhile, limps in after dropping four straight and will be without their experienced forward (LW), creating a huge gap in the paint. The Volunteers’ standout guard has dominated the Gamecocks historically, scoring an average of 20+ points per game in their last five meetings. Both teams have passed the 41-game mark, so Tennessee’s victory will carry significant postseason weight, and their proven consistency puts them in prime position to cash in on a high-value wager.
Over/Under Pick: Over 131.5 Points, (-110) - B+

Tennessee’s dynamic guard Bryce Carroll has been on a tear lately, fueling the Volunteers through their current three-game win streak. Across the court, South Carolina staggers in with a five-game skid, as their 2-15 conference record (12-18 overall) continues to weigh them down. With a starting forward sidelined due to an ankle issue, the Gamecocks look thin in the paint, which could allow the Vols, sitting at 11-6 in conference play (24-6 overall), to dominate inside. Historically, Tennessee’s sharpshooters have posted strong numbers against the Gamecocks, and if Carroll’s hot hand stays lit, this contest may push well past the 131.5 total. The Over wager stands at a respectable -110, and it earns a strong B+ ranking for both likelihood and potential monetary return.
Spread Pick: Tennessee, -15.5 (-110) - B+

Santiago Vescovi leads Tennessee with unwavering consistency, particularly now that the Volunteers ride a two-game winning streak while South Carolina struggles with four straight losses. With the Gamecocks missing a key forward who remains sidelined due to an ankle injury, the team’s interior defense could be further compromised against a historically dominant Tennessee squad on their home floor. The Vols’ recent success in conference matchups suggests a larger margin of victory, making this wager a solid proposition that earns a B+ for its likelihood and potential payout. Expect the Volunteers to roll.
