South Carolina vs. Oregon Analysis
The Jermaine Couisnard revenge game. Oregon sneaks into the 11-seed after winning the PAC 12 auto-bid and faces a surprise team in South Carolina from the SEC.
In this matchup, I took a close look at Oregon’s guard play strength compared to South Carolina. The Ducks’ duo of Jackson Shelstad and Couisnard could easily combine for 40-plus points. In comparison, the Gamecocks’ Meechie Johnson and Ta’Lon Cooper don’t create as much pop.
The Gamecocks attempt 3s on 41% of their field-goal attempts. Making these shots will be key as their offense plays at one of the slowest tempos (354th).
Oregon’s defense was strong in the Pac 12 tourney, holding all three of its opponents under 70 points, including 59 to Arizona. The Ducks have the ability to alter their pace based on the strength of their opponent — in this game, playing quicker would be beneficial.
Getting the ball inside to N’Faly Dante has proven to be a successful strategy. He went off for 25 points on 12-for-12 shooting against Colorado. South Carolina could struggle to stop the 6-foot-11, 230-pound phenom.
The opening line is closer than you’d expect from a 6 vs. 11 matchup with South Carolina favored by just 1.5 points. I’m backing the Ducks here – it feels like an outstanding spot for a surging team.
