NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sun March 23

My kingdom for a big like Bittle.
Seems all these rd of 32 teams have skilled bigs & 2-3 guys like JJ & muscle at the 4.
 
What conferences are these teams in now? Oregon is B10, but what is Arizona?

Big East? The Pac 2? Big 12? ACC?

Football has made college sports so freaking stupid.
The 16 member Big 12, along with other big rivals BYU, Cincy and UCF.
 
Is everybody else getting silence when they talk to Gene (ref analyst).
I hear the PBP and Analyst, but anytime they go to Gene the sound goes silent.
 
And Arizona covers. At least on some sites at -3.5. FanDuel was -4.5 I think. Gambling is so dumb.
 
Basketball is a terrible sport to bet on. There is too much randomness in the final minute of a game with intentional fouling, free throw shooting, guys taking random prayer shots, etc. that can swing the line.
For sure. I very rarely place bets, but when I do it's the money lines, usually in a parlay with other money lines.

When sports gambling first became legal, a fairly successful bet was the over in hockey. All good, until one day I decided to bet the spread instead. Had it in the bank, until the team pulled their goalie and gave up a goal with seconds to go.
 
my big take away watching this tournament - we need to figure out a way to get stronger. Our guys look so weak compared to most if not all of these teams.

The sharps take all that into account.

I watched a bunch of games this past week and frankly Robbie Hummel is probably the best commentator (PBP and color) that I heard. He's fantastic.

Money line parlays are my go to bets.This tournament hasn’t been kind to the money line dog players.
 
I'm sorry in advance for this post.

I feel like Queen's shot last night for Maryland was similar to Keith Smart's in that it was way more difficult than it first appeared live. I think the only makes that maybe 2 or 3 out of 10 times tops. It was a strange angle and bank.

I had the same feeling. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the replay.

It was a very lucky shot.

Every sport is terrible to bet on. If there were good sports to bet on, there wouldn’t be betting or the books would adjust things so much as to make it bad for the bettor.

Baseball you have the “defensive indifference” in the last inning where the team in the field will just let a runner swipe bases and get into scoring position because the team is up by so many runs. That is a margin and under killer

In hockey you have the empty net goal phenomenon that will hoze your puck line or under bet .

In football you got your prevent defense .

It was an incredible shot, from a clearly highly skilled player. The TV commentator, not Chuck , but one of the other ones was besides himself explaining how that was a guard like play, and amazing to see from a big man.
 
So the non Jalen rose analyst on the broadcast was paying such little attention he wanted Maryland to run the Bryce drew play even though the ball was to be inbound at half court

It's a great sport to live bet.
