Men’s College Basketball Best Bets:
First rounds are behind us and we’re onto the round(s) of 32 for men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments, and the respective secondary tournaments are also underway. It’s a lot to keep up with, but fear not, TSI has all of the projections right here in one place for you, exclusively at VSiN.com. If you’ve been using these projections to bet the tournament so far, you’re probably doing pretty well, regardless of whether you’ve tailed my bets or not, as the projections have been very solid to start March Madness. Let’s look to keep it rolling and close the weekend strong. Here are the Sunday projections
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.
