  • The South Carolina Gamecocks are 2-6 SU and ATS in their last eight games as a favorite of two points or less. The Gamecocks will try to turn the tide on that trend Friday as a small favorite vs the Marquette Golden Eagles.

    SHARK BITES
    • South Carolina is 0-5 SU and ATS in its last five games as a favorite of 1.5 or less.
    • The total has gone OVER in seven of Marquette's last nine games after losing as a favorite.
    • Marquette is 12-4 SU in its last 16 games after a loss.

    South Carolina started off conference play in the SEC on a roll with a 9-1 SU and 6-4 ATS run that included a road upset at Georgia and a win at home over Florida. But over the last month, the Gamecocks haven't fared so well with a 3-6 SU and 1-8 ATS record over their last nine games.

    Marquette entered the Big East tournament with some good momentum on the heels of a 4-1 SU and ATS run that included two wins over Xavier and a win over Creighton. That momentum was halted by an 82-76 loss to Seton Hall as a small favorite, dropping the Golden Eagles to 2-6 ATS in their last eight games in March.

    This game will provide an interesting clash in styles. South Carolina ranks 202nd on offense with 72.1 points per game and 29th on defense allowing 64.5 points per game, while Marquette ranks 17th on offense with 82.5 points per game and 244th on defense allowing 75 per game.
