Sunday’s Elite Eight schedule consists of two games — one of which was a predictable matchup, the other not so much. North Carolina-Kentucky? Sure, that makes sense. But Florida-South Carolina is something I don’t think even SEC commissioner Greg Sankey could’ve reasonably predicted.

Either way, fun games.

Who wins?

Who covers?

Here are predictions for both games:

(4) Florida -3 vs. (7) South Carolina

Straight-up pick: South Carolina

ATS pick: South Carolina

I never anticipated picking South Carolina to win an Elite Eight game, if only because I never imagined South Carolina would be in an Elite Eight game. But here we are — against all odds. The Gamecocks beat Marquette in a coin-flip situation, then upset Duke and Baylor. Amazing stuff — especially considering South Carolina held Scott Drew’s Bears to 30.4 percent shooting from the field, including 23.1 percent from 3-point range, in the Sweet 16. Consequently, the Gamecocks now have the nation’s second-best defensive efficiency rating. And they’ll have the best player (Sindarius Thornwell) on the floor at Madison Square Garden. So I’m taking South Carolina to win again as an underdog and make the Final Four for the first time in school history.

SportsLine: Who the Vegas pros are picking on Sunday

(1) North Carolina -2.5 vs. (2) Kentucky

Straight-up pick: North Carolina

ATS pick: North Carolina

The South Regional final is a rematch of the best game college basketball produced all regular season — a 103-100 thriller in Las Vegas that Kentucky won thanks to Malik Monk scoring a career-high 47 points. I was there. It was awesome. And I can totally see this game going either direction. I don’t feel strongly about it either way. The numbers show that North Carolina is a little better offensively while Kentucky is a little better defensively. But the Wildcats are average defensive rebounders, and UNC is the nation’s best offensive-rebounding team. So perhaps that’ll be the difference — UNC’s ability to create extra shots that lead to enough second-chance points to take Roy Williams to his ninth Final Four.
