LAS VEGAS Duke Gets Sent Home
The public loves to bet on the Blue Devils during the tournament in much the same way it does the Dallas Cowboys or Los Angeles Lakers, and CG Technology needed Kansas to win as three-point underdogs.
Villanova won and covered the -6.5 line earlier against Texas Tech in a game that saw the vast majority of bets and money backing the Wildcats. That game was a loser for CG Technology, which became Jayhawk fans later in the day.
“(KU’s win in overtime over Duke) was a good result for us,” Simbal said. “We needed Kansas for the game, and since Nova covered early, we had a decent size parlay liability to Duke.”
“The (betting on the) Duke vs. Kansas game was very balanced and we didn’t have much of a decision,” Kornegay said.
