Presbyterian vs South Carolina Prediction
Presbyterian comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row, but they played very poorly in the first half against Georgia State last time out. The Blue Hose have only allowed 64 and 61 points in their last two games, so their defense has led them to those wins. South Carolina needed overtime to escape against Southern Miss and they are shooting just 44.1% from the field this year. I don’t know what to think about South Carolina so far this year, but I know Presbyterian likes to play in lower scoring games. Take the under here.
