CTO CONFIDENTIAL TIP-OFF
Wednesday,January 28
*SOUTH CAROLINA over Vanderbilt...SEC sources impressed with the quality of athletes Vandy HC Kevin Stallings has recruited lately. But
for the moment, youthful Dores still an unfinished product, especially since options are limited on offensive end until someone steps up and delivers the sort of consistency from perimeter (Vandy only 32.7% treys) graduated Shan Foster provided a year ago. Meanwhile, SC glad to be back in Columbia, where it was unbeaten (9-0) prior to Florida’s Jan. 21 visit. Definite backcourt edge to Gamecocks’ dynamic transfer combo of Downey (19.6 ppg) & Fredrick (16.3 ppg), and SC eager to erase bitter memory of LY’s 1-point home loss vs. Dores.
*SOUTH CAROLINA 79 - Vanderbilt 64 RATING - 10

(553) PITTSBURGH
(554) VILLANOVA
Take "(553) PITTSBURGH"
The Big East has incredible depth, but the more I see, the more I am convinced that Pitt has a little more than anyone else. They did lose at Louisville, but the Panthers were the better team for most of that game and would have won were it not for DeJuan Blair's foul trouble in that contest. Sam Young and Blair are a devastating combo. 'Nova is a very solid team, but they have shot the ball erratically lately and they're sure not beating the Panthers in the paint. It's certainly not a cinch, but I like Pitt to win this convincingly enough to beat the number.
