Tennessee vs. South Carolina Prediction, Picks & Odds: Women’s College Basketball Picks Today (Feb. 8)

My best Tennessee vs. South Carolina prediction focuses on the offensive strength of No. 3 South Carolina. The Gamecocks are favored by 16.5 over No. 19 Tennessee in today’s 3 p.m. ET (ABC) game at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C.

Each of these teams has only one conference loss, so the winner of this contest will take over sole possession of first place in the SEC. Below, I highlight why South Carolina will prove to be too much for Tennessee, as the Gamecocks cruise to victory.
