NCAAB: Tuesday's 7 p.m. ET play

Play: South Carolina +7 -110

Time: 7 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Gamecocks are coming off of a beatdown, but that was against Kentucky. They should have a much easier time on Tuesday against the team they beat by 17 on Jan. 31. In that 67-50 win against Georgia, South Carolina held the Bulldogs to only 11 FG and 22.0% shooting. The 'cocks have played the tougher schedule and they have two wins over Top 25 teams. Georgia is 0-3 vs. Top 25 teams. SC plays better defense, is way better at the line and is strong on the offensive glass. The Gamecocks are eighth nationally in FG defense (37.9%). Sindarius Thornwell scored 20 points in the Kentucky loss and is averaging 15.3 points in his past three games. The Bulldogs have lost three of their past five games. In their last one, a home loss to Auburn, they shot only 37.7%. South Carolina guard Marcus Stroman, who has missed the last two games with a throat infection, could suit up for this one. Gamecocks F Laimonas Chatkevicius is shooting 51.2% from the field.
