Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
Rough day betting Overs yesterday, which isn’t totally shocking as fatigue begins setting in, combined with the fact that postseason basketball tends to have a slower, more physical nature to it. One of these days, I’ll have a research assistant to help me study the pace and efficiency differences to be expected in the postseason so there aren’t so many Overs being projected. For now, we have to just proceed with caution and look more to betting sides and Unders. Nonetheless, we’re back in the saddle today with projections for both men’s and women’s, and I hope to be able to get some women’s plays put out on X later today, schedule allowing.
Reminder on how to read the projections: If the spread is a positive number, that indicates the team on the left (Home, unless neutral site) is favored by TSI. If the spread is a negative, that indicates the team on the right (Away, unless neutral side) is favored by TSI. TSI total is the projected number of combined points in the game.
