The South Carolina Gamecocks bring little good to the basketball court, which should produce a snoozer in the SEC Tournament nightcap against the Oklahoma Sooners.

My South Carolina vs. Oklahoma predictions and college basketball picks expect a dud to end the first day in Nashville tonight.

Oklahoma vs South Carolina best bet

Oklahoma vs South Carolina best bet: Under 149.5 (-110)

The South Carolina Gamecocks boast the worst offense in the SEC; they found their four wins only by dragging opposing offenses down to their dredges, including the Oklahoma Sooners in mid-January.

In those four wins, foes hit just 24.2% of their 3-pointers, part of the Gamecocks giving up just 32.7% from deep in SEC play, No. 4 in the conference.

While Oklahoma is the best 3-point shooting team in the SEC, some repeated struggles tonight may be expected, simply given that it's the only thing South Carolina can rely on.

Oklahoma vs South Carolina same-game parlay

Oklahoma knows it needs a run in the SEC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament. The Sooners may not need to win the weekend, but a few wins are necessary. After Nijel Pack went 0-for-7 in the first matchup with the Gamecocks, an altered game plan may be necessary to start such a run.

Our beyond the arc SGP: Pack Persists

The thought of Pack scoring 16 points while hitting no more than two 3-pointers should not jump this SGP by nearly 470%. An altered game plan would make it more likely than usual. This is, in effect, a bet on Porter Moser throwing a changeup at South Carolina.

Betting Analyst

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
