Gardner Webb vs. USC Upstate prediction and odds for Big South Conference second round

We have an intriguing set up in the Big South Conference second round matchup on Friday afternoon.

Gardner Webb and USC Upstate played last Saturday, a home win for the Spartans, 75-69, as they split their season series in conference play. Now they meet in the second round of the Big South Tournament in the rubber match, who has the edge?

Here are the odds for Friday afternoon’s matchup.

Gardner Webb vs. USC Upstate prediction and pick

Gardner Webb won their home game by 12 back on January 25th, but USC Upstate got it done at home in a competitive meeting. Gardner Webb closed as a 2.5-point road favorite in that game on Saturday, and now are favored by four in the rematch.

While I don’t want to the overreact to the most recent meeting, I’m inclined to take the points in the third matchup. Gardner Webb’s offense has fallen apart down the stretch of the season, 331st out of 363rd in adjusted offensive efficiency in the month of February, per Bart Torvik. 

Further, the Runnin’ Bulldogs have struggled to cover spreads as favorites all season long, just 6-14 against the spread (ATS) while the Spartans have cashed 13 out of 21 games against the number as an underdog.

I don’t see much separating the two teams, especially given Gardner Webb’s poor form on offense, that I’ll take the points with the Spartans.
