We might have to try and talk ourselves into liking SC, because there are no real weaknesses to discuss with this UT side that looks very capable of breaking thru that Sweet 16 barrier that has blocked the Vols for so many years. Rick Barnes might also get his conference coaching comrades to begin scouting the Big Sky for portal adds like 6-6 wing Dalton Knecht (via Northern Colorado; 19.5 ppg), a new cult hero in Knoxville after treating the likes of Florida, Georgia & Bama like they were Montana State while cracking the 30-point barrier three times in the past four games. But the Vols (2-3 vs. line last five) aren’t covering every night, and the Gamecocks are 7-1 getting points. Play SC
