I think they went 0-4 ATS, although I'm not sure about their first game. But I doubt there was any significant action on their first game compared to the others

The most widely picked team in now busted brackets

Even people participating in auction brackets lost money, they paid such a high price they needed a Final Four appearance to get their money back

They should have been eliminated 2 games ago

Off the top of my head, I would say it's been 3 weeks to a month since they've covered a spread. I think in the conference tourney they pushed the championship game and lost the spread against NC.

I said this at the very beginning of the tournament and it played out again.

These Freshman are as hyped as ever these days but if you look at the tournament it, is the experienced teams that win it all. Kentucky with Anthony Davis was about the only exception in the 1 and done era.

So many of these games come down to 1 possession. Duke should have lost in the 2nd round to the junior/senior heavy Central Florida. If Carson Edwards was a Freshman, Purdue wasnt a missed free throw away from goin to Final 4.

Out of the 20 starters for the final 4 teams, only 2 freshman are starters.

I was in a calcutta at a local bar for all 64 teams before the tourney started. duke went for nearly 2000. I think if they won it all it wouldve returned like 3600 or something. prob the dumbest investment ive ever seen. esp now..
