What to expect in the Texas vs South Carolina game?
Heading into this matchup, fans should expect a close game between two teams with national championship hopes. Although South Carolina enters the game as the favorite, both teams have performed well throughout March Madness and look capable to win the whole thing.
South Carolina is coming off a narrow 54-50 win over the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils in the Elite Eight. That marked the second narrow victory in a row for the Gamecocks as they also narrowly defeated No. 4 Maryland 71-67 in the Sweet 16.
Texas has had more convincing wins throughout the tournament, and especially in recent rounds. In the Elite Eight, the Longhorns defeated No. 2 TCU 58-47. In the Sweet 16, the Longhorns defeated No. 5 Tennessee 67-59.
Despite the Longhorns having more success in previous rounds, the Gamecocks are still the favorite entering the matchup. South Carolina is a -198 favorite according to DraftKings and Texas is a +164 underdog.
The reason for this is the Gamecocks' success throughout the year as a whole. They have been more dominant than the Longhorns and have won two of the three head-to-head matchups between these two teams.
