Wow, Kentucky is favored by 16 points over South Carolina? Well I guess Kentucky is just going to wipe the floor with the Gamecocks tonight since they are responsible for their only loss this season right…… Not so fast my friend!

One of the greatest things about college basketball betting is that we are dealing with kids. And these kids like to look ahead to bigger and better things, like a nationally televised matchup against Tennessee this weekend. Listen, Kentucky will win tonight, but I like South Carolina plus the points.
