6 Bracket Busters Who Ruined Everyone's NCAA Tournament Bracket
by Jeremy Block - 3/14/2026

At some point during the first weekend of March Madness, something goes wrong for almost everybody who filled out a bracket. Whether it's a power conference program that comes out flatfooted or a double-digit seed from a league nobody watches that suddenly looks like a top-25 team, there is always at least one team that makes the whole thing fall apart.

Why Do Some College Basketball Powerhouses Flame Out in March Madness?
by Jeremy Block - 3/13/2026

College basketball has a way of painting villains as March approaches. Top seeds become the teams with the target on their back—the ones fan bases across the country cannot stand, and only hope get sent home earlier than expected. And more recently than ever, that's actually been the case.

2026 Big East Tournament Predictions and Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2026

It has been a disappointing, transitional year in the Big East. And unless we have a surprise champion (think Georgetown in 2021) then this venerable league may settle for just three teams in the NCAA tournament. That would tie 2024 for the fewest teams in the NCAA tournament from the Big East over the past 40 years.

2026 SEC Tournament Predictions and Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2026

Last year the SEC broke college basketball. They sent 14 of 16 teams to the NCAA tournament, provided half of the Elite Eight and Final Four teams, and featured the eventual national champions, Florida. It was a historic year for a league in which basketball has always been second fiddle to football.

2026 Mountain West Tournament Predictions and Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/11/2026

The MWC has sent at least four teams to the NCAA tournament – the conference winner and at least three at-large teams – for four straight seasons. The Mountain has sent 18 teams to The Big Dance over the last four years, and 2021 was the last time that they didn’t send at least three teams to the tourney.

Major Conferences That Have Struggled in March Madness
by Jeremy Block - 3/11/2026

Every March, a handful of programs walk into the tournament with the kind of reputation that makes people pencil them deep into their brackets without thinking twice. Some conferences produce those programs more than others, and some have been getting embarrassed by teams that nobody thought would even get a March Madness bid.

2026 Big Ten Tournament Predictions and Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2026

There are 18 teams in the Big Ten tournament! This bloated league will (eventually) crown a champion this weekend, with the winner coming through one of the most convoluted brackets you will ever see. To wit, if Oregon or Northwestern were to make a Cinderella run to the title they would need to win six games in six days. Yet, the league’s top four teams – Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska and Michigan State – will play their first Big Ten tournament games three days after the tournament’s opening games.

2026 ACC Tournament Predictions and Expert Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2026

The ACC ain’t what it used to be. But the league is still one of the most high-profile conferences in college basketball and setting up for one of the most intriguing and consequential ACC tournaments in recent memory. While Duke leads a group of six teams squarely in next week’s NCAA tournament field, there are several desperate underachievers trying to claw their way into The Big Dance.

Final Four Props with Best Bets, Odds and Predictions
by Jeremy Block - 4/4/2025

We’ve been riding the March Madness rollercoaster for over two weeks now. And if you’re still not betting on some props, what are you even doing? The Final Four is here, and this is where things get real. We’ve seen our fair share of buzzer-beaters, bracket heartbreaks, and epic upsets, but now it’s time to focus on the game and player props that are going to make or break your bets.

MOP Betting Odds and Predictions for the Final Four Most Outstanding Player
by Jeremy Block - 4/2/2025

For once, March Madness hasn’t been so mad after all. Not many Cinderella stories, or shocking upsets -- just the four best teams in the country battling it out for a national title. With all No. 1 seeds making the Final Four, the race for Most Outstanding Player (MOP) is stacked with elite talent. The usual chaos might be missing, but that only makes the MOP conversation even tougher. When the best of the best square off, who’s going to shine brightest?

March Madness: Breaking Down National Championship Odds vs. Seedings for Sweet 16
by Jeremy Block - 3/27/2025

It’s the most wonderful time of the year - March Madness is in full swing. The Big Dance, as always, provided us with the expected upsets, buzzer-beaters, and drama. However, as we head into the Sweet 16, the big question is: which teams are truly set up to make a run at the National Championship?

Women's Sweet 16 Bracket Picks: Mapping Out the Eventual National Champion
by Ryan Cobbett - 3/26/2025

Similarly to the Men’s bracket, the Women’s bracket had no significant upsets and the worst seed to reach the Sweet 16 round was a handful of No. 5 Seeds. USC has seen their championship aspirations take a big hit after losing their star player to an ACL tear, which means we may see one of those 5-Seeds reach the Elite Eight. The remaining field is truly best on best, and we have some exciting matches to follow. Keep on reading for some best bets in the Sweet 16, some Final Four sleepers, and a preview of a potential championship game between two of the most elite programs in women’s basketball.

2025 Big 12 Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2025

Kansas who? Houston has bullied its way to the top of the Big 12 food chain with back-to-back regular season titles. But if the Cougars are going to truly usurp the Jayhawks as the Big 12’s new standard bearer, they will have to accomplish what Kansas did seemingly every year: win the Big 12 conference tournament.

2025 AAC Tournament Predictions and Betting Odds
by Robert Ferringo - 3/10/2025

I’ll forgive you if you don’t pay attention to American Athletic Conference basketball tournament. Heck, I bet half the people involved in AAC hoops don’t even care that much about AAC hoops. Such is life as a mid-major conference that has seen teams like Connecticut, Louisville, Cincinnati, SMU and Houston come and go through its 12-year history.

Final Four Prop Bets and Predictions for March Madness
by Mike Allen - 4/4/2024

We are just days away now from one of the biggest weekends in sports and sports betting. This year at the Final Four, we have everything. We have the two best teams, a dark horse who plays with a lot of variance, and a true Cinderella story. I am not picking NC State to get past Purdue, nor do I have Alabama penciled in to beat the mighty UConn Huskies. Yes, we have some big point spreads for Saturday, but it's also about the journey.

March Madness Handicapping: Vulnerable No. 1 Seeds in the Sweet 16
by Mike Allen - 3/27/2024

The Sweet 16 is quickly approaching. And, minus 1.5 major upsets, it has been a chalky first couple of rounds. The biggest upset was, of course, the Kentucky Wildcats falling to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. Outside of that, Texas A&M made a miraculous comeback against the Houston Cougars this past weekend in the round of 32, only to dump every ounce of adrenaline as team members belly-slid onto the court after the game-tying three as time ran out.

Are you having fun yet? Who doesn’t like March Madness? I meet people all the time, especially in the combat sports industry, who don’t like ball/team sports. When it’s time to tip off the NCAA Tournament, though, they are calling and messaging with a thousand questions.
