I wasn't too surprised to see SC as a 1 point favorite. What did surprise me , though, is that the over/under opened at 148 and has moved down to 141.5. Looks like Vegas think SC's defense is stronger than our offense.
I have to think that if we're even sniffing our average of 83, that we'll be just fine.
80-53 is my lock of the week.
SC won't score due to foul trouble and MU will be making 3s at a medium pace.

The betting line opened at 1.5 in favor of South Carolina. It held firm for several days until a flurry of betting action on Marquette in the last 24 hours swung the line rather drastically to Warriors -1. South Carolina has since taken some action and the game is currently a pick em. The public jumped on Marquette as the week unfolded and it's looking like a complete toss up at tip off. The total is 142.5.
