College Basketball Picks for February 25th
Posted by deaconcat08 on February 25, 2010
These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident.
South Carolina (+16.5) vs. Kentucky- The Gamecocks have won 3 straight versus the Cats and though I don’t see them making it 4 in a row, South Carolina is just one of those teams Kentucky always struggles with (both in football and basketball). Obviously, the Cats aren’t going to overlook USC like they did in Columbia, as they will instead be seeking revenge. However, the Gamecocks know they can play with Kentucky, and I think they’ll take that confidence into Rupp and make this one closer than the experts are predicting.
Charleston (+9.5) vs. Wofford- I’m staying in the Palmetto State with this pick because this line really puzzles me. Charleston is favored by most to win the SoCon and has already beaten the Terriers earlier this season. I’d give Wofford a slight advantage here since they are playing at home, but 9.5 points certainly isn’t slight.
Yesterday’s Record: 3-1, Overall Season Record: 19-14 (I would have been 4-for-4 yesterday if Purdue didn’t collapse in the second half)
