South Carolina is staring down a sixth straight trip to the Final Four when it faces TCU in Monday's women's March Madness Elite Eight matchup. Tipoff is 9 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif., on ESPN.
The Gamecocks are 14-point favorites via the latest women's March Madness odds, but I'm betting on their offense for my TCU vs. South Carolina prediction.

🏆 Who will win TCU vs. South Carolina?
I'm predicting South Carolina to win by 14 in its Elite Eight matchup with TCU on Monday. The Gamecocks have won 15 of their last 16 games, including all three NCAA Tournament contests by an average margin of 45 points. There's no reason to expect much different with a Final Four berth on the line.
Score prediction: South Carolina 78, TCU 64
💰 TCU vs. South Carolina prediction & best bet
Over 131.5 (-110)
South Carolina has kicked it into high gear offensively during this NCAA Tournament run. The Gamecocks have averaged 99.3 points in their past three wins, scoring at least 94 in all three outings. They've played at an average pace of 79.9 possessions, which is up from a season average of 73.9.
The team knows it can run teams out of the gym right now. That's why I like the Gamecocks' team total of Over 73.5 points and the full-game Over of 131.5 equally as four-star plays.
However, there's more value on the full-game line. This Over is listed at 133 across the other best sports betting sites, suggesting a solid discount at DraftKings.
🚀 TCU vs. South Carolina same-game parlay
bet365 is the lone shop offering team totals, so I needed to sacrifice some value on the full-game line. Still, the Gamecocks need to clear their team total for the full-game Over to come through. That's why this SGP is only +130 while featuring two very correlated legs.

💡 How I'm betting TCU vs. South Carolina: Women's March Madness
Follow all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions for March Madness.
This NCAA Tournament has taught us that the top teams in women's college basketball are head and shoulders above the rest of the field. That's why all four No. 1 seeds remain alive, and those teams continue to dominate.
TCU could test South Carolina, at least compared to its first three matchups of this tourney. But I think the Gamecocks are humming too much on offense to truly sweat this one out.
That's why I like betting on points Monday, allocating two units between two wagers on just that.
