Today's biggest bets and line moves: Bettors hammer Houston odds vs. Ohio State
Patrick Everson

No. 3 seed Houston posted a 29-point blowout of Georgia State on Friday, catching the attention of bettors. The Cougars opened -5.5 for Sunday's game against Ohio State and were bet up to -6.

A 48-game college basketball joyride that started Thursday wraps up Sunday, with eight games that will set the rest of the March Madness Sweet Sixteen field. Covers checks in on the action and odds movement for several of those contests, with insights from Scott Shelton, sportsbook supervisor at The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip.

No. 11 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. No. 3 Houston Cougars – Open: -5.5; Move: -6

Ohio State barely nabbed an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, but took advantage of it and now has a spot in this 8:40 p.m. ET matchup. In Friday’s Midwest Region opener, the Buckeyes (20-14 SU, 15-19 ATS) took out No. 6 seed Iowa State 62-59 as 5-point underdogs.

Houston dropped just three games all season and looked the part in its opener Friday. The Cougars (32-3 SU, 22-12-1 ATS) hammered No. 14 seed Georgia State 84-55 as 12.5-point favorites.

“Ohio State-Houston is our biggest decision so far,” Shelton said. “Seven times more money and five times more tickets on Houston. All public play on that. The public drove the line to 6.”


No. 6 Buffalo Bulls vs. No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders – Open: -3; Move: -3.5

Buffalo is on a 13-game win streak entering this 6:10 p.m. ET meeting in the West Region. The Bulls (32-3 SU, 19-14-1 ATS) dunked No. 11 seed Arizona State 91-74 laying 5 points Friday.

Texas Tech had a surprisingly strong season in the Big 12 and carried that momentum into the Big Dance. On Friday, the Red Raiders (27-6 SU, 16-16-1 ATS) beat No. 14 seed Northern Kentucky 72-57 giving 13 points.

“Texas Tech was a close second in liability, behind Houston,” Shelton said. “But Buffalo is starting to see some love, coming back a little bit. Money was 3/1 on Texas Tech, now it’s 2.5/1, and the ticket count is actually pretty close. We’re a small five-figure loser to Texas Tech.”
No. 13 UC Irvine Anteaters vs. No. 12 Oregon Ducks – Open: -5.5; Move: -5; Move: -4.5; Move: -5; Move: -4.5

Two teams that, by seeding at least, aren’t supposed to be in this 9:40 p.m. ET second-round tilt are indeed in it. UC Irvine has won 17 in a row, going a stout 12-4-1 ATS in that stretch. The Anteaters (31-5 SU, 21-13-1 ATS) stunned No. 4 seed Kansas State 70-64 getting 3.5 points in a Friday South Region tilt.

Oregon is rolling on the floor and against the oddsmakers, winning and covering nine in a row. The Ducks (24-12 SU, 21-15 ATS) were knotted at 25 with No. 5 seed Wisconsin at halftime Friday, then scored 47 second-half points en route to a 72-54 rout catching 2 points.

“That one is actually pretty good two-way action,” Shelton said of pointspread play. “Ticket count is skewed toward Oregon. The public is on Oregon, sharps on UCI.”


No. 9 Oklahoma Sooners vs. No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers – Open: -11; Move: None

Virginia was dealt arguably the most shocking loss in NCAA Tournament history last year, when as a No. 1 seed, it bowed out to No. 16 seed Maryland-Baltimore County. This time around, the Cavaliers (30-3 SU, 23-10 ATS) trailed No. 16 Gardner-Webb 36-30 at recess, but put the clamps down in the second half to notch a 71-56 victory as 22.5-point favorites Friday.

Oklahoma advanced to this 7:45 p.m. ET South Region matchup in very convincing fashion Friday. The Sooners (20-13 SU, 20-10-3 ATS) jumped out to a 50-33 halftime lead over No. 8 seed Mississippi and coasted to a 95-72 victory in a pick ‘em game.

“The money is incredibly close, within a thousand dollars,” Shelton said. “Right now, great two-way action on the spread and even on the moneyline.”


No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes vs. No. 2 Tennessee Volunteers – Open: -8; Move: None

Tennessee bounced back from a blowout loss to Auburn in the Southeastern Conference final, though not without a challenge to open South Region play. The Volunteers (30-5 SU, 17-16-1 ATS) built a 12-point halftime lead against Colgate, gave 10 of those points back in the second half, but ultimately got the 77-70 win laying 17.5 points Friday.

Iowa barely found its way into the NCAA Tourney after going 1-5 SU and ATS in its previous six games, but righted the ship Friday. The Hawkeyes (23-11 SU, 14-20 ATS) were 4.5-point pups against No. 7 seed Cincinnati and snagged a 79-72 victory.

“Money is 2/1 in favor of Tennessee, ticket count is approaching 2/1 on Tennessee,” Shelton said of this 12:10 p.m. ET tip, the first game of the day. “It’s a mid-five-figure decision, but not a big sweat.”

Sunday's odds and best bets for South Region Round 2
Rohit Ponnaiya

It definitely feels like March Madness with favorites going 0-6 against the spread in the South Region in Friday's NCAA Tournament action. We bring you the odds, predictions and best bets for Round 2 on Sunday as Iowa plays Tennessee, Oklahoma takes on Virginia and a pair of West Coast Cinderella teams battle it out in California.

(10) Iowa Hawkeyes vs (2) Tennessee Volunteers

Odds: TENN -8, 155.5
Start Time: 12:10 p.m, ET, Columbus, OH

Iowa surprised many as their offense overpowered Cincinnati in Ohio, enroute to a 79-72 win. A matter of fact Big Ten teams went 7-1 straight up in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The Hawkeyes have terrific size led by big men Luke Garza and Tyler Cook down low, while perimeter players Jordan Bohannon, Jon Wieskamp, Isaiah Moss and Nicholas Baer space the floor with their outside shooting. The latter four players combine for 6.6 made 3-pointers per game at a conversion rate of 40.1 percent.

Tennessee owns one of the top offenses in the country, averaging 81.5 points per game but they also have a defense prone to lapses. They allow an average of 8.3 made 3-pointers per game on 35 percent shooting, with both of these marks outside of the top-200 teams in the country. Colgate scorched them from deep on Friday, converting on 15 of 29 shots from long range.

With Iowa averaging 78.3 ppg on the season and Tennessee giving up an average of 78.4 ppg over their last five games, back Iowa on their full game total Over 73.5.

(9) Oklahoma Sooners vs (1) Virginia Cavaliers

Odds: UVA -11, 127.5
Start Time: After the conclusion of UCF vs Duke scheduled for 5:15 p.m. ET, Columbia, SC

Speaking of teams with surprising offensive performances on Friday, the Sooners exploded for a season-high 95 points against Ole Miss. They are going to have a much harder - if not impossible - time pulling that off against Virginia and their top-ranked defense which allows just 55.1 ppg and 38.1 percent shooting from the field.

In the game against Gardner-Webb, it was apparent that UVA just played out of sync and didn't take the game seriously until the second half where they outscored the Runnin' Bulldogs by 21.

Virginia had an average scoring margin of +16.7 on the season, and in 20 of their 30 wins won by a point differential of 12 or more. And Oklahoma's shooters have come up cold against top defenses scoring an average of just 58.3 ppg in six games against Kansas State, Texas Tech, Florida and Wisconsin.

The key to beating UVA's famed Pack-Line defense is having ball-handlers that can create off the dribble and outside shooters that hit three-balls with a man rushing them and a hand in the face. The Sooners haven't proven that they can do either consistently.

A telling trend is how Virginia responds to a poor performance and how Oklahoma has followed up on victories. UVA is 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games after an ATS loss, while Oklahoma is 1-4 ATS in their last five games after a straight up or ATS win. Take Virginia to win and cover the spread Sunday.

(13) UC Irvine Anteaters vs (12) Oregon Ducks

Odds: ORE -4.5, 124.5
Start Time: After the conclusion of Liberty vs Virginia Tech scheduled for 7:10 p.m ET, San Jose, CA

Two of the biggest underdog winners from Round 1 clash in San Jose on Sunday night with the Oregon Ducks 5.5-point favorites against UC Irvine.

The Anteaters are red-hot, having won 17 games in a row. They can defend and rebound as well as anyone, holding opponents to just 38.2 percent shooting (the fifth-best mark in the country) with a rebounding rate of 54.7 percent (11th best). UC Irvine also has excellent depth with nine players logging more than 16 minutes per game.

Oregon holds opponents to just 62.7 ppg on 39.9 percent shooting, including just 29.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The Ducks started conference play off poorly but seem to have turned things around with nine consecutive wins ever since they went to a starting lineup featuring guard Payton Pritchard surrounded by four long forwards (all 6-foot-9 or taller) who can stretch the floor and contest shots.

In the second half of their First round game against Wisconsin they absolutely took over, scoring 47 points which is tied for their highest scoring half of the season. And they did it against a Wisconsin defense that was ranked among the best in the country.

However, the Ducks have recently struggled to seperate themselves from opponents during the first half of games; going into halftime against Wisconsin with the score tied, having a slim two point lead versus Washington in the Pac-12 title game and being down six points at half to Utah last Friday.

Back UC Irvine to keep it close early and take them on the first half spread of -3.

Sunday's odds and best bets for Midwest Region Round 2
Andrew Caley

Can Washington's 2-3 zone stop the high-octane offense of North Carolina in their Second Round matchup?

The final two spots in the Sweet 16 from the Midwest Region are up for grabs in Sunday’s March Madness action. Will Washington’s defense be able to stop North Carolina’s high-octane offense, while two defense teams do battle when Houston takes on Ohio State. We break down the odds and totals for all three games while giving predictions and best bets.

(9) WASHINGTON HUSKIES vs (1) NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS

Odds:
Start Time: 2:40 p.m. ET, Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio

There are two big questions heading into this matchup are which Washington team will show up and will the Huskies’ defense be able to contain North Carolina’s high-octane offense.

Washington stumbled down the stretch but looked more like the team that won 15-of-16 at one point this season in its 78-61 opening round win over Utah State. The Huskies limited the Aggies to 35 percent shooting from the floor and forced 21 turnovers. But will they be able to keep that up against the juggernaut that is the North Carolina offense?

The Tar Heels rank third in the country in points per game at 86.1 per contest and are one of the fastest paced teams in Division I at nearly 78 possessions per game. The Tar Heels are led by Senior guard Cameron Johnson, who led the ACC and is fifth in the nation in 3-point percentage (46.5) and freshman guard Coby White. North Carolina overcame a sluggish start and dominated the second half in Friday’s 88-73 win over 16th-seeded Iona.

The only really comparable team Washington went up against this season was Gonzaga, which they put up a good fight losing 81-79. The Huskies deploy a 2-3 zone, which is comparable to that of Syracuse, which the Tar Heels were able to drop 93 points on. The key to that was North Carolina being able to beat the zone down the court and never let them get set. The strategy will be similar here. But what makes UNC so dangerous is that they still have the playmakers to attack the zone in the half court.

And while Washington ranks a formidable 19th in the KenPom adjusted defensive efficiency, eight ACC teams have similar or better ratings in that field. The Tar Heels played those teams 11 times scoring 79.9 points per game. Take the Over on their team total of 79.5.

One more thing. North Carolina is the third highest scoring second half team in the nation and their +5.2 second half road margin ranked eighth. Washington has a -4.5 second half margin on the road this season. That ranked 274th. Let’s put a play on North Carolina -4.5 on the second half spread as well.

(11) OHIO STATE BUCKEYES vs (3) HOUSTON COUGARS

Odds: HOU -5.5, 132
Start Time: 8:40 p.m. ET, Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio

The third-seeded Cougars seek their first trip to the Sweet 16 since 1984 when they meet 11th seed Ohio State.

Houston got here on the back of its defense. It allows just 61.1 points per game (seventh best in the country) and there is no one better at getting a hand in your face than the Cougars. They limit opponents to 36.5 percent shooting from the field and a staggeringly low 27.5 percent from 3-point range.

Houston rode that defense to an 84-55 thrashing of Georgia State on Friday in the first round as senior guard Corey Davis Jr. poured in 26 points. The Cougars suffocated the Panthers, limiting them to 30 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Ohio State also prides itself on its defense, ranking 21st in the KenPom adjusted defensive efficiency metric and used it to upset sixth-seeded Iowa State 62-59 in Friday’s first round. Sophomore forward Kaleb Wesson led the way with 21 points and 12 rebounds, giving him three double-doubles in his last four games.

But even in that slog of a game, the Buckeyes were only able to score 63 points on 39.7 percent shooting (25 percent from 3-point range) and that was against an Iowa State team that was good but not great on the defensive end. But that should come to no surprise to anyone who has followed the Buckeyes. Since the start of Big Ten play (21 games) Ohio State has averaged just 64.1 points per game. The slow pace and the stout defense in this game should keep the Buckeyes Under their team total of 63.5.

Additionally, Houston is known for getting off to good starts. It’s +7.5 first half margin away from home was fourth best in the country. While Ohio State had a -0.8 mark in that category. Take the Cougars -3 on the first half spread.

Sunday's odds and best bets for East Region Round 2
Jason Logan

The opening week of the NCAA Tournament comes to a close in the East Region with a pair of games Sunday. Jason Logan breaks down the March Madness odds for Central Florida-Duke and Liberty-Virginia Tech and gives his best bets and predictions.

NO. 9 CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS VS NO. 1 DUKE BLUE DEVILS

Odds: Duke -13, 143 at FanDuel Sportsbooks
Start Time: 5:15 p.m. ET, Colonial Life Arena, Columbia, South Carolina

If there’s one thing Duke doesn’t do well is shooting from outside. The Blue Devils rely on triples for just 26.2 percent of their total offensive output, which has something to do with them shooting a dismal 30.5 percent from beyond the arc.

And if there’s something Central Florida does well, it’s be big. The Knights are among the tallest teams in the nation, including 7-foot-6 gatekeeper Tacko Fall, who plugs up the middle and forces opponents to the outside.

In fact, Duke and UCF look very similar on the defensive end. Both teams have shot-blocking/shot-changing interior defenses, and both plug up the passing lanes while getting their hands on any lazy flat passes.

It may seem too easy, but I’ve got to think Under in this one. Duke remains the best Under bet in basketball, with all that firepower skewing the total for what is a premier defensive team, and Central Florida had stayed Under in four straight before playing Over versus VCU Friday.

I’m betting Under 143 Sunday.

NO. 12 LIBERTY FLAMES VS NO. 4 VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES

Odds: VT -9, 126
Start Time: 7:10 p.m. ET, SAP Center, San Jose, California

At first glance, this is a matchup between two of the slowest-paced teams in the land, with Liberty and Virginia Tech ranking Top 17 in lowest tempos. And we’re seeing that in this diminutive total of 126 points.

However, if you peel back the layers on these programs you see an offensive shootout just about ready to boil over – Over the total that is. Ha ha ha…

Liberty is one of the most efficient offenses in the country and shoots a blistering 37 percent from deep. The Flames buried 12 triples in the upset win over Mississippi State and record an average of 8.5 3-point buckets an outing.

The Hokies are just as dangerous from distance, shooting 39.4 percent from downtown (8th best in the country) and tally 9.4 3-pointers per outing. Virginia Tech attempted only 10 shots from the perimeter in the win over Saint Louis Friday – making four – but didn’t have to lean on those long-range shots, scoring plenty in transition off 18 forced turnovers.

Given that these two teams can catch fire from deep, I see excellent value in the Over 126 Sunday night.

Sunday's odds and best bets for West Region Round 2
Brandon DuBreuil

Only one Round of 32 game in the West Region on Sunday but it should be a good one as Buffalo and Texas Tech — two teams that looked very good in their first-round wins — look to advance to the Sweet 16. We break down the odds and total while giving predictions and best bets.

(6) Buffalo Bulls vs (3) Texas Tech Red Raiders

Odds: Texas Tech -3.5, 146
Start time: 6:10 p.m. ET, Bank of Oklahoma Center, Tulsa

Like I said on Friday: If you haven’t seen Buffalo play yet this season, you are missing out. This team moves fast and scores in buckets. The Bulls play with the 10th fastest pace in the nation per KenPom’s Adjusted Tempo metric and average 85 points per game, fourth-most in the NCAA. That offense was on full display on Friday as the Bulls dropped 91 points on 51.7 percent shooting against Arizona State.

Buffalo will be challenged by Texas Tech’s stingy defense. It’s the Red Raiders’ biggest strength as they hold opponents to 59.2 points per game (third-best in the nation) on 36.9 percent shooting (second-best in the nation).

So which side are you on? Great offense or great defense? Well, there’s a little more to it.

Buffalo also has a very good defense, ranked 28th in the country in KenPom’s Adjusted Defensive Efficiency metric. The Bulls also take care of the ball, giving it away just 11.8 times per game — and Texas Tech thrives on taking the ball away with 15.7 steals per game.

Finally, let’s talk experience. Buffalo has eight seniors on its roster — including its three top scorers — and they know what it’s like to win in the tournament as an underdog after upsetting Arizona in the first round last season. Texas Tech’s roster has nine freshmen or sophomores, though it should be noted that those second-year players got some tournament experience in the Red Raiders’ run to the Elite Eight last season.

I also like that the Bulls have played tough competition this season. In their pre-conference schedule, they played at West Virginia (99-94 win), at Syracuse (71-59 win) and at Marquette (103-85 loss). That win at Syracuse really catches my eye as the Orange always have a tough defense.

I’ve said since the bracket was released that Buffalo was going to win at least two games in the tournament — and that was always assuming it would see Texas Tech in Round 2 — and I’m sticking with that. Take the points and back Buffalo at +3.5.

Looking to the total, this one’s pretty simple as I believe there is serious correlation here. If Buffalo is to win, it’s likely because it gets Texas Tech off its game by turning it into a shootout. If that happens, this game goes way Over the total and that’s where my money is going.

The opposite is also true: If Texas Tech is to win it will likely do so by shutting the Bulls down. If that happens, this game goes Under. So if you’re fading my Buffalo pick, you might consider putting a few bucks on the Under as well.
