#3 Seed NC State is a 11.5-Point Underdog Against #1 Seed South Carolina in the Final Four

#3 seed NC State is a 11.5-point underdog against #1 seed South Carolina in the Final Four tonight. The Total is 139.5.

The Wolfpack are 3-1 Against the Spread during their run in the NCAA Tournament. The Total has gone Over twice, and Under twice.

NC State might be a double-digit underdog tonight, but they have been underdogs in the past two games, and have won both games by double-digits. They were 4.5-point underdogs against #2 seed Stanford, and won by 10. They were 6.5-point underdogs against #1 seed Texas and won by 10.

#1 seed South Carolina is obviously 4-0 straight up in the NCAA Tournament thus far, but they are 1-3 Against the Spread, and the Total has gone Under in all 4 games.

Let’s be honest. The Gamecocks are a juggernaut. 29 of their 36 victories have been by double digits. Interestingly, 2 of the single-digit victories were against Tennessee, who the Wolfpack beat by 7 earlier in the NCAA Tournament. The Volunteers lost one game by 1, and another game by 8.

Are the odds stacked against the Wolfpack tonight? Sure. But as Junior Guard Saniya Rivers said yesterday, they are here ‘to crash the party.’
