South Carolina basketball score vs Oregon

South Carolina basketball is a 1½-point favorite against Oregon in its first-round NCAA Tournament game Thursday – the slimmest margin of victory projected in the Midwest Region’s opening-round matchups.

The Gamecocks are used to not being heavy favorites, so it’s nothing new for coach Lamont Paris’ team.

“We’re not the sexy pick. We’ve never been the sexy pick,” Paris said. “There will continue to be plenty of things to motivate this group, to play with a chip on their shoulder.”

South Carolina (26-7) will get that opportunity against the Ducks (23-11), who earned a berth in March Madness by winning three games in three days en route to the Pac-12 Tournament title after a fourth-place league finish in the regular season.
