Florida Gators vs South Carolina Gamecocks Prediction & Picks - NCAA Women

Prediction published on 2/13/25, 12:20 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 2/13/25 at 12:20 PM in Basketball Picks

The South Carolina Gamecocks will try to start another winning streak tonight when they host the Florida Gators at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, SC. Tipoff for this SEC matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET; fans can find coverage for the game on the SEC Network.

South Carolina is coming off a disappointing loss to Texas on Sunday (66-62). The team had a dreadful day from the floor, shooting 36.8%, well below their season average of 46.7%. Only one player scored in double digits; MiLaysia Fulwiley had 13 in 21 minutes off the bench. However, the Gamecocks should find it much easier to put up points on Florida’s defense (No. 295 in the country; Texas’ defense is ranked No. 41). However, while the Gamecocks are heavy favorites in this game, it would be a mistake for them to overlook this talented Florida squad. Senior Ra Shaya Kyle is a consistent double-double threat, averaging 15 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Three other players average in double digits for the Gators, including potential Freshman of the Year candidate Liv McGill, who leads the team with 16.4 points per game. She is also the only freshman in the nation to record a triple-double (21/11/10 vs. Missouri on Jan. 12).
