The Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament concludes on Sunday, with a couple of chalky #1 vs #2 matchups. The best vs the best only, Cinderellas need not apply. For my best bet for Sunday, March 30th: College Basketball Predictions, we’re off to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana for the Midwest Region final. Off to basketball country, we go!
Best Bet For Sunday (March 30th): College Basketball Predictions
Tennessee Volunteers vs Houston Cougars
Start Time: 2:20 PM EST
Tomorrow’s action kicks off with the Midwest Region final, with the #2 Tennessee Volunteers from the SEC up against the #1 ranked Houston Cougars of the Big 12. The SEC was so stacked this year that the Volunteers were only the fourth-best team in the conference, while also being ranked fifth in the nation by KenPom (Houston is ranked third overall).
It was a great season for Tennessee, but I think it ends tomorrow at the hands of the streaking Cougars, winners of 16 straight. Both teams have elite defenses, but Houston’s is the best in the nation while also having a better offense than Tennessee.
My line for this game is Houston -3.5, which is right around where it is at the books, so I’ll have to settle for the Cougars on the moneyline for my best bet for Sunday.
Best Bet: Houston ML (-155)
Best Bet Overall Record: 196-175 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($145.44)
Return on Investment: -0.4%
