This is also why anyone who claims to have an inside angle on these games is full of shit.
There's no legit way to cap a game with the approach of "Yeah, I'm taking this team +2.5 because I think they'll be down 2 very late and the other team will intentionally miss the free throw to give me the cover!" And it happened twice tonight with two very good FT shooters at the line.
Think March Madness is more about luck than skilled handicapping...ie entertainment betting as opposed to games which present real value. I think I've played a total of four of the tourney games...all for small amounts. Just feel like I may as well be playing red or black roulette...

I think Louisville was about to go up 9 with 5 minutes left when Jones got whacked on the arm. The ball spun out, Jones fell to the floor and no foul was called. I think that ref blunder (one of many in that game) cost Louisville the game and probably the cover.
The offensive foul on Tennessee was questionable.
I feel bad for anyone who had the UNDER in the UConn-ISU game as well. They tallied 50 points in the last 4 minutes.
If this year's NCAA Tournament had a Facebook page its background would have to be 3 refs hovering over a monitor.
Elite 8 Saturday Favorites = 8-18 ATS last 13 years
Elite 8 Saturday OVERS = 16-8 last 12 years
Elite 8 Sunday Favorites = 12-13-1 last 13 years
Elite 8 Sunday OVERS = 23-12-1 last 18 years
Elite 8 Games 70-30 to reach 139 points last 25 years
