✅ South Carolina to cover the spread: -4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Gamecocks didn’t look right in the Sweet 16 or the Elite Eight. They defeated both the Maryland Terrapins and Duke Devils by just four points, and they were tied or trailing with less than five minutes left in both games. Yet despite their struggles, they get the edge tonight against a very familiar opponent.
The Gamecocks and Longhorns have played each other three times this season. The Gamecocks are 2-1 in those games, with their only loss by four points at Texas on Feb. 9. In South Carolina, the Gamecocks won 67-50, and in the SEC championship game on a neutral floor, the Gamecocks won by 19.
The Gamecocks have done a great job of neutralizing Madison Booker in their two wins. The Longhorns’ leading scorer is averaging 16.5 points per game but was held to 10 or fewer in both of those games. Even when she scored 20, the Longhorns only won by four. Look for the Gamecocks to shut her down again, and pick up their third-largest win of the tournament.

🔥 Madison Booker Under 17.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Booker has scored at least 17 points in all four of her NCAA Tournament games, but she’s yet to score more than 20 in a single game. Therefore, she has a high floor but a low ceiling, which could be problematic for her tonight.
Though she’s averaging 16.5 points per game, she’s struggled against the Gamecocks this season. In the SEC championship game, she was just 4-of-13 from the field, one of her lowest shooting percentages of the season. In fact, she’s yet to shoot higher than 31.8% against the Gamecocks this season. Even when she dropped 20 points on them in early February, she was just 7-of-22 from the floor.
Booker’s success is directly correlated to the Longhorns’ success, so they will do everything they can to get their best player involved. However, the Gamecocks’ defense is too accustomed to shutting her down, and she’s going to fall short of her season average for the third time in four games against them.
📊 Best odds: -110 via FanDuel ($10 to win $9.09)
🎯 Score prediction: South Carolina 61, Texas 55
The highest-scoring game between these two teams this season saw just 128 points, so I’m backing another low-scoring affair. The Gamecocks scored over 60 in all three contests, managing between 62 and 67 in each game. The Longhorns haven’t been so successful. They scored 66 in their win, but they scored 50 or fewer in their two losses.
I’ll back the Longhorns to perform a little better than usual in this one, but still fall short, as the Gamecocks barely break 60. Take the Under if you’re betting the total.
📊 Best odds: +17000 via DraftKings ($10 to win $1,700)
