Let the Games Begin

‘Twas the day of the tourney, and all through the land,
 The brackets were filled, each pick carefully planned.

 The jerseys were ready, the sneakers laced tight,
 March Madness had started—what a glorious sight!

The fans were all buzzing, their eyes on the screen,
 For Cinderella’s slipper was waiting, pristine.

 With tip-off approaching, the energy soared,
 The thrill of the dance—we couldn’t ignore!

Then out on the court, there arose such a sound,
 A whistle, a dribble, the ball hit the ground.

 The players took stance, the coaches took note,
 One shot at glory, one chance to stay afloat.

Layups and dunks, the threes rained down,
 One shining moment for each college town.

 A one-seed in trouble? A twelve-seed ahead?
 March had arrived, and chaos had spread!

As the first games unfolded, the madness took flight,
 Overtimes, heartbreaks, and buzzer-beat might.

 Brackets were crumbling, predictions destroyed,
 Yet every fan was completely employed.

From fast breaks to heartbreaks, the battle was tight,
 Who’d cut down the nets on championship night?

 And as the first round came to a close,
 One thing was certain—anything goes!

So grab all your brackets, your snacks, and your beer,
 March Madness is here, the best time of the year!

Today's LIVE Bets: 

NCAAB: Creighton vs. Louisville - 12:15pm ET

Against the Spread - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Creighton +3

Analysis:

The ACC's performance this season, particularly that of the Louisville Cardinals, has raised some concerns, as it hasn't been a standout year for the conference. The Cardinals have struggled against significant non-ACC opponents, managing only one victory against Indiana and losing decisively to teams like Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Duke, and Kentucky. Looking ahead, Creighton presents a daunting challenge, especially with their 7-1 standout Ryan Kalkbrenner, who averages 19.4 points per game. Furthermore, Creighton's impressive ability to avoid fouls—leading the…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: High Point vs. Purdue - 12:40pm ET

Against the Spread - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

High Point +7.5

Analysis:

The Boilers have struggled to find success when playing away from home, highlighted by their near loss to USC in the Big Ten tournament, where the Trojans played on short rest. Their tendency to rely heavily on three-point shooting could lead to their downfall, as they have a concerning 6-11 record against the spread (ATS) in away games this season. Although they previously covered the spread in six straight games against weaker opponents in the Big Ten, their performance has since declined, and they seem to be reverting to their inconsistent ways. In contrast, High Point features a top 25 KenPom offense that operates methodically and shoots an impressive 50% from the field, while also boasting the best field goal percentage defense in the Big South, effectively shutting down…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: McNeese State vs. Clemson - 3:15pm ET

Against the Spread - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

McNeese +7.5

Analysis:

It was clear that this would be Will Wade's last opportunity to lead the McNeese team, which features several returning players from last March's NCAA tournament appearance. The Cowboys showcased their competitive spirit by playing tough against SEC teams like Alabama and Mississippi State during the preseason, which set a positive tone for their conference play. Ultimately, McNeese cruised through the Southland Conference, supported by four double-digit scorers, including guards Jahvon Garcia and Sincere Parker, a transfer from Saint Louis, who has brought significant talent to the squad. While it's important to recognize Clemson's impressive Elite 8 run last March, this season's ACC has shown inconsistency, particularly highlighted by the presence of some…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: VCU vs. BYU - 4:05pm ET

Money Line - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

BYU to win

Analysis:

BYU is currently in excellent form, benefiting from contributions from a deep roster of players with legitimate size, which matches well against VCU on both ends of the floor. This physicality could pose significant challenges for the Rams, particularly given BYU's elite rebounding percentage that allows them to secure second-chance points effectively. Additionally, BYU has been shooting an impressive 37% from beyond the arc, further enhancing their offensive capabilities. VCU's defense tends to decline when playing on the road or in neutral court settings, making this matchup even more favorable for BYU. The Cougars have averaged 80 points per game in a competitive conference, illustrating their offensive potency, and they have achieved notable victories, including two wins over Iowa State and a strong finish against Arizona. With an 8-2 record against…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Georgia vs. Gonzaga - 4:35pm ET

Over/Under - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Over 151

Analysis:

Georgia is poised to take on Gonzaga and their formidable offense, which averages 86.6 points per game, ranking second nationally. The Bulldogs from Georgia have demonstrated their competitiveness by navigating a challenging SEC schedule and securing an impressive non-conference victory over Rick Pitino's high-scoring St. John's team in the Bahamas. Heading into the NCAA tournament with a solid 7-3 record, Georgia has been averaging nearly 80 points per game in their last five outings, led by a dynamic duo consisting of 6-foot-11 freshman Asa Newell, who scores 15.3 points per game, and sophomore guard Silas Demary Jr., who has been on fire with an average of 20 points over the last nine games. Meanwhile, Gonzaga's head coach Mark Few appears to have found effective rotations and lineup combinations, featuring 6-foot-10 Braden Huff alongside 6-foot-9 Graham Ike in the…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: Drake vs. Missouri - 7:35pm ET

Over/Under - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Over 133

Analysis:

In the first four matchups, teams appear to be eager to ramp up their offensive production, even as game totals tend to decrease in line with slower-paced teams. Notably, Drake is among the slowest teams in the nation, which presents a contrasting challenge when facing a high-tempo team like Missouri. Typically, Drake excels at controlling the game tempo, compelling opponents to adapt to their style; however, they may find it challenging to impose their will against the Tigers, who thrive on pushing the pace and frequently look to get to the free-throw line. This fast-paced approach allows Missouri to score efficiently, and they have demonstrated their scoring ability by only having two games this season with…[Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...

NCAAB: San Diego vs. Michigan - 10:00pm ET

Money Line - 👈  Click to get more info on tonights match up

Michigan to win

Analysis:

As a die hard Ohio State fan, I can’t lose in this matchup. Personally, I would be thrilled to see my most-hated rival, Michigan, eliminated right off the bat, while UC San Diego, riding a remarkable 15-game winning streak, has had an impressive season by claiming both the Big West regular-season and conference tournament titles. However, it's worth noting that the Tritons’ toughest non-conference challenge was against San Diego State, and they fell short in that contest, raising questions about their ability to compete against higher-ranked teams. On the other hand, the Wolverines appear to have hit their stride again after winning the Big Ten Tournament, showcasing their resilience and depth. With their… [Click here to get the Full write up on this bet]...
