Free NCAA Tournament Betting Picks for Final Four
by Chris Vasile - 4/2/2021

And then there were four. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sitting in front of my TV and filling out my bracket with each team that was announced, including the play-in games that kicked off the tournament. To say this year’s tournament has been anything short of outstanding – especially after being canceled last year – would be an understatement. We’ve been witness to some miraculous upsets, buzzer-beaters, amazing individual performances, and storylines. And at the end of the day, we are now down to the four best (should say hottest) teams in the country.

2021 March Madness Bracket Predictions: South Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2021

The South Region is full of fatally flawed teams. Baylor (no momentum), Ohio State (injuries), Arkansas (general weirdness), Purdue (youth), Villanova (injuries) and Texas Tech (inability to close games) all enter the NCAA Tournament with major question marks. That sets up the South Region as a bracket that could either be a dull bore, with the Bears and Buckeyes eventually duking it out for a slot in the Final Four, or a bracket that could go hilariously wrong, with all of the top seeds having their weaknesses exposed in the opening weekend.

2021 March Madness Bracket Predictions: Midwest Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/17/2021

Welcome to the Group of Death. The Midwest Region is by far, bar none, the most difficult bracket in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. Seven of the 16 teams in this region have spent time in the Top 11 – THE TOP 11! – at some point this year. And that doesn’t even count dangerous conference champions like Georgia Tech (ACC), Oregon State (Pac-12), San Diego State (MWC) and Loyola-Chicago (MVC).

2021 March Madness Handicapping: No. 5 vs. No. 12 Seeds
by Chris Vasile - 3/17/2021

We are all of two days away from the start of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, and the annual passage of filling out your March Madness bracket is in full swing. In fact, you should be putting the last touches on which teams you believe are this year’s Cinderella teams. When it comes to predicting upsets, many people point to the four No. 5 vs. No. 12 matchups on the bracket as a good place to start.

2021 March Madness Bracket Predictions: West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/16/2021

The 2020-21 college basketball season has been historic for a lot of the wrong reasons. Now Gonzaga is trying to make this campaign historic for the right one. Gonzaga is attempting to become the first undefeated college basketball team in 45 years. Not since Indiana’s 32-0 championship season in 1976 has any team run the table. But the top-seeded Bulldogs (26-0) have a legitimate chance to match those Hoosiers and lay their claim as one of the best college hoops teams of all time if they can win six straight games and a title.

2021 March Madness Bracket Predictions: East Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/16/2021

Despite the NCAA Tournament selection committee’s best efforts, every year there is one Region of Death and another region that looks a bit softer than the rest. This year’s weakest region: the East. And it’s really not even close. On the surface, this bracket looks pretty solid. The SEC (Alabama) and Big 12 (Texas) champions reside in this region, along with the ACC (FSU), Pac-12 (Colorado) and the WCC (BYU) runners up. Throw in Michigan, the Big Ten’s regular season champion, and the numbers support this as a well-rounded, difficult region.

2021 March Madness Prop Bets and Predictions
by Chris Vasile - 3/16/2021

Everyone loves a good prop bet. It takes the pressure of researching every game off and allows you to focus in on one or two things that you would like to see happen. Instead of betting on all 67 games the 2021 NCAA Tournament offers, you can select from the prop bets below and still enjoy the drama as it unfolds. However, let’s not get it twisted.

2021 NCAA March Madness Betting Tips: How to Bet and What to Look For
by Chris Vasile - 3/15/2021

To say I am pumped about the return of March Madness would be an understatement. Last year’s cancellation of the tournament left such a void in March that I ended up learning Sudoku as a hobby. Let me tell you, I’d much rather be trying to figure out if a game is on pace for the “over” or “under” to hit than be putting single-digit numbers in a square box and erasing them a million times because they are in the wrong spot.

2021 NCAA Tournament Facts
by Chris Vasile - 3/15/2021

Ladies and Gentlemen, the bracket has been set for the 2021 NCAA tournament. Now is the time to get to work on your bracket and start researching different trends, KenPom ratings, backcourt and frontcourt matchups, and anything else you think will have an effect on the outcome of all 67 games starting on March 18 with the First Four and ending on April 5 with the National Championship Game.

2021 NCAA Tournament Bracket Advice and Tips
by Chris Vasile - 3/14/2021

This year, the tournament is being held at campuses in Indiana, which marks the first time in the history of the tournament that one state is hosting the entirety of the tournament. As an avid basketball fan, the location of the tournament doesn’t matter to me as long as the tournament happens and runs smoothly. As a bettor, the location is vital. Because as you will read about a bit later, these are kids we are talking about, and travel matters when handicapping the NCAA.

NCAA Tournament Seed History
by Chris Vasile - 3/14/2021

Betting on the NCAA Tournament is kind of like betting on the stock market. You have to do your research and make your moves based on what the numbers say. I’m not saying your plays will always be the right moves. However, at some point, you have to trust what the numbers say and go for it. I’ve compiled a list of data for each of the 16 seeds that are a part of March Madness. And I don’t mean each individual team, I’m talking about the specific seed itself.

March Madness Seed Statistics 2021
by Chris Vasile - 3/12/2021

We are about a week away from the start of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, and I couldn’t be more excited. I know it’s going to be a little bit of a different atmosphere this year with an empty stadium and a very different schedule for the first two rounds of the tournament, but meaningful basketball in March should never be turned down.

March Madness Trivia Questions and Answers
by Chris Vasile - 3/12/2021

March Madness is upon us, and you know that that means. Buzzer beaters, upsets, Cinderellas, late game heroics, questionable calls and everything in between. To get you set for the upcoming tournament, let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how well you know the history of the what they call the ‘Big Dance’.

2021 Big Ten Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2021

All season long we’ve listened to members of the bobblehead media fawn over the Big Ten as the Best Conference In College Basketball. That claim is tough to dispute. The Big Ten is loaded this year, as it was last year. And this Sunday as many as nine teams could hear their name called for the NCAA Tournament.

2021 AAC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2021

The American Athletic Conference hit a high-water mark in 2019. It sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament and nearly had a signature moment for the league when Central Florida almost pulled a colossal upset over Duke. Things have been a lot choppier since then. Connecticut skipped out and returned to the Big East. Wichita State fired its coach under a cloud of controversy. Cincinnati and Temple bid adieu to successful long-time coaches and have joined Central Florida and Tulsa in rebuilding efforts.

2021 Mountain West Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2021

On the one hand, it has been a down year for the Mountain West. Just one team, San Diego State, is currently in the Top 25 and no one has cracked the Top 15. The league is ranked a pathetic 11th this season – behind the Atlantic 10, WCC and Missouri Valley – and they may end up as a one-bid league in the NCAA Tournament.

2021 SEC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/9/2021

Kentucky has missed the NCAA Tournament just two times in the last 30 years. Make it three times in 31 years. The Wildcats are just 9-15 and have been one of the biggest busts in the country. The fact that they are an afterthought heading into the SEC Tournament goes to show just how bizarre of a season it has been in Southeast basketball.

2021 Pac-12 Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/9/2021

It continues to be a sorry state of affairs for West Coast basketball, with the Pac-12 scuffling along on the fringes of big-time college basketball. They have sent just three teams to each of the last two NCAA Tournaments. And unless someone can get hot and pull some upsets in Vegas, the league may not end up with more than a trio of reps in this year’s Big Dance.

2021 Big 12 Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/9/2021

The Big Ten has been the deepest and most top-heavy league in the country, enjoying all the plaudits that come with the title of “Best Conference in College Basketball”. Yet while the Big 12 may not be able to match the Big Ten in terms of sheer numbers, the Big 12 may be the best pound-for-pound league in college hoops.
