Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
The Men’s tournament is off and running, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get in on some women’s NCAA Tournament action. In fact, I’d argue there’s as much of an opportunity as ever, with most eyes focusing on the men, we should be able to capitalize on the softer market of the women’s betting lines, as we’ve done all season. TSI is humming along and has you covered with projections all tournament long.
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.
