Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
We are on to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament after an exciting opening day (which is my personal favorite hoops day of the year). I attended the round of 64 games in Greenville, SC, so I got to see three excellent games between TCU/Ohio State, Duke/Siena, and VCU/UNC. Hopefully Friday’s games are as exciting, and I will have you covered with projections on every tournament game, both NCAA and NIT, which will be posted here at VSiN.com a day ahead of time. As always, be sure to follow me on X @TShoeIndex for all the latest tidbits and analysis, as well as women’s best bets as they come throughout the tournament as well.
