Oregon vs. South Carolina Best Bet: Can N'Faly Dante, Ducks Stay Hot Against Gamecocks?

Alright guys, I spent most of my day today becoming a crash course college basketball expert, and I am ready to dive into the wonderful madness that is March. To kick things off, we are heading to one of the more highly-anticipated games of the tournament's opening round, as the Oregon Ducks (23-11) clash with the South Carolina Gamecocks in what should be a great game.

Oregon vs. South Carolina Prediction

I think 11 seeds are the new 12 seed, and I expect an upset in regard to bracketology. Both squads are great. South Carolina has been winning all season long, and have pretty great against the spread; they are one of those teams that has sleeper potential to go deep in this tournament but they pull a really tough one here off the draw in the Oregon Ducks. Dana Altman's squad is fresh off a Pac-12 title and rolling into this one with really strong wins over two other squads in this tournament, including the two-seeded Arizona Wildcats.

They have a lot of momentum and confidence going into this one, which is dangerous for anyone to run into. Seniors N'Faly Dante and Jermaine Couisnard are leaders on this team who should put the Ducks on their backs. They take care of the basketball and keep opponents on the perimeter when they are playing their best, which could be problematic for the Gamecocks. I love this spot for the Ducks.

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December. With a long-awaited Tyson Fury showdown potentially awaiting later this year, Joshua should pursue an emphatic early finish rather than allow the dangerous but unproven Prenga to build confidence.
