Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:

The opening weekend of the NCAA tournament is in full swing and these games could not have been more exciting so far. It’s been wildly unpredictable from a bracket and betting standpoint, but that’s kind of the fun of it, I suppose. 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.
