The sportsbooks scored a solid win on opening day of the Tournament, with many results falling their way. Players go looking for revenge on Friday.
As we look ahead to Friday, could there be a slight upset in the South Region in the game between the No. 8 California Golden Bears and the No. 9 Louisville Cardinals? The Golden Bears are 1-point sports wagering odds favorites for their tournament opener with the Total set at 149.5.
Cal announced that starting forward Omondi Amoke would be suspended indefinitely citing violation of team rules, although the exact nature of the suspension was not given.
The disciplinary measure will weaken the Golden Bears as “the loss of Amoke, who emerged midseason as a starter for Cal,leaves the Bears with even less muscle than they had against a Louisville team that features a strong, young front court,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Cal Golden Bears were hot late in the season as they went 9-2 straight up and against the spread in the 11 games leading up to the NCAA championship tournament.
However, they haven’t fared well in their last 10 games when favored by 2-points or less, going 3-7 SU and 3-7 ATS.
Over/Under bettors take note, they have produced 8 Overs and 2 Unders in their last 10 in that situation.
Over in the Midwest, the seventh-seed Oklahoma St. Cowboys will open the tournament with a game against the 10-seed Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Cowboys are 1.5-point NCAA wagering odds favorites with an Over/Under of 136.5.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets haven’t been very good down the stretch when it comes to rewarding their backers; going only 4-8-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall.
Over/Under Alert: In the Yellow Jackets’ last 13 games when underdogs of 2-points or less, there have been 10 Overs and only 3 Unders. In the Cowboys’ last nine games when favored by 2-points or less, there have been 7 Overs and 2 Unders in that time.
OSU’s last nine games when favored by 2-points or less, they are 7-2 SU and 7-2 ATS.
Friday’s action should deliver another dramatic day of college basketball wagering. Good luck and stop by SPORTSBETTING.COM for their 110% Bonus!
One game down, one upset…has it started already?
The Utah Jazz used to be a team that couldn’t win on the road but that has changed this NBA wagering season. The Jazz have been right around the .500 mark all season on the road and that is a major difference for this year’s team. In the past, the Jazz excelled at home and collapsed on the road. This year Utah has proven they are tough in road games. "We have more confidence on the road now," said Deron Williams. "We realize if we come and create our own energy and play with intensity on defense and get stops, then we’ll have a chance to win ballgames." The
