The Rider Broncs and South Carolina Gamecocks face off on Sunday in a college basketball showdown in Columbia South Carolina. 

The Rider Broncs come into this game with a 3-4 record overall and they have gone 1-6 against the spread. The Broncs offense has been inconsistent, but in the last game against Bucknell the offense was strong putting 85 points and that led to the victory. Rider is averaging 69 points while their defense is giving up 71 points per game. Dwight Murray Jr has been the top player for this team averaging 16 points while shooting 40.6 percent from the field. There are three different players that are averaging at least nine points per game.In this game if they wnt to win this game they are going to need the defense to be good. 

On the other side of this matchup is the South Carolina Gamecocks who sit with a 4-1 record and they have gone 3-2 against the spread. In the last game against Wofford, the offense was elite putting up 85 points. Two games ago against UAB they only scored 66 points but they still had enough offense to win. South Carolina is averaging 73.2 points while their defense is giving up 65.4 points per game. Erik Stevenson has been the best player for South Carolina averaging 14 points while shooting 37.9 percent from the field. In this game, the offense is going to need to have another big game. 

South Carolina is 4-0 against the spread in their last four games overall. The over is 6-1 in Rider’s last seven road games. The under is 6-1 in South Carolina’s last seven Sunday games. 

There is very little doubt that South Carolina is the better team, but they are laying too many points in this game. This is the same South Carolina team that lost to Princeton and they have had issues blowing out teams. Look for the Gamecocks to win the game, but Rider will find enough offense to keep it close. Rider against the spread. I also believe this will be a high scoring game and the over will cash.
