by Trevor Whenham - 3/25/2014
I don't know about you, but my bracket is shot. Not tragically - I still have all my Final Four teams in place. It's everything else that is ugly. Luckily, though, the shift to the Sweet 16 gives us a prime opportunity to start over again. Let's take these few days between games in the NCAA Tournament to recharge, regroup, and make some 2014 Sweet 16 bracket picks. Every game from here forward: Read More >>
2014 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player Odds: MOP Picks and Predictions
by Aaron Smith - 3/24/2014
The first week of the NCAA Tournament is now behind us, and the tournament has been just as outstanding as always. Every year there is a nice Cinderella story in the first week as well as a ton of tightly-played contests. Mercer's upset over Duke was certainly the upset of the tournament thus far. Both Dayton and Stanford meeting in the Sweet 16 as No. 10 and No. 11 seeds, respectively, is also a very rare situation. There were four overtime games on the first day of the tournament. Already, it has been an NCAA Tournament full of tons of drama. It's likely that the best is yet to come. Read More >>

2014 March Madness Brackets Strategy
by Alan Matthews - 3/19/2014
Let me preface this story by saying that if I had the fail-proof March Madness bracket strategy, I'd most definitely be signing up for that $1 billion tournament bracket sponsored by Warren Buffett. Check that. I will be signing up for it, but I'm guessing I won't get every game right. The odds of that reportedly are about 1 in 128 billion if you are a knowledgeable college basketball fan (like to think I am). To someone not up to date on the sport, the chances are projected at 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. Read More >>

If fact, many of them will not even cost you a dime for a chance to win millions of dollars. Anyone who is serious about betting on college basketball this time of year knows that the true value lies in betting on the actual games, given that there are bound to be a few bad lines in some of these very unfamiliar matchups.

2014 March Madness Bracket Picks: Midwest Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/19/2014
Wichita State, Michigan, Duke and Louisville are four of the best teams in the country and among the favorites to cut down the nets in Dallas at the Final Four. And while the seeding of these four juggernauts has caused plenty of babbling from the bobblehead media this week, the reality is that it matters less what order they are presented in than it does what order they finish in.

2014 March Madness Bracket Picks: West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/19/2014
Top seed Arizona is a tough, physical, defensive-oriented team. They want to lock people up and get in their faces with a hard-nosed man-to-man. Second-seeded Wisconsin is a team whose offensive flow and execution can carve up opponents. Sure, they can defend. Like Arizona can score. But the Badgers are a soft, skilled team that wants to get hot and hit jumpers for a full 40. Read More >>

Wisconsin Badgers Odds to Win the 2014 NCAA Tournament with Picks and Predictions
by George Monroy - 3/19/2014
The Wisconsin Badgers surprisingly earned a No. 2 seed in the West region after ending the regular season with a loss to Nebraska and then losing in the Big Ten tourney semi-finals against Michigan State. Wisconsin ended the year with a No. 12 ranking in the AP Top 25, yet it had not done enough in the eyes of the selection committee to leapfrog a few teams into a premium position in the tournament.

Virginia Cavaliers Odds to Win the 2014 NCAA Tournament with Picks and Predictions
by George Monroy - 3/19/2014
The Virginia Cavaliers earned a No. 1 seed in the East region after upsetting Duke in the ACC tournament and moving into the Top 3 of the AP rankings. Virginia won only its second conference title in its 60-year history with the ACC and will be looking to advance past the round of 64 for the first time since 2007. The Cavaliers are entering the tournament with the stingiest defense in the nation as they allow the fewest points and rebounds and rank in the Top 65 in three other categories. Read More >>
2014 March Madness Bracket Picks: East Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2014
The East Regional of the NCAA Tournament could be considered the No Respect Region. Top-seed Virginia was given the No. 1 slot by default, and not many analysts in the country think that the Cavaliers have a realistic shot at winning a national title. The same can be said about Villanova, a team that was seemingly dismissed after their last-second upset loss in the Big East Tournament, despite the fact that only three teams in the nation have beaten the Wildcats this year.

Syracuse Orange Odds to Win the 2014 NCAA Tournament with Picks and Predictions
by George Monroy - 3/18/2014
The Syracuse Orange took a huge tumble down the rankings during the last three weeks of the regular season, and as recently as Feb. 18 they were the No. 1 team in the nation and had sports fans everywhere talking about the possibility of running the table. Unfortunately, five losses in seven games and an early exit from the ACC tournament left the team in the 14th overall spot in the AP rankings and with a No. 3 seed in the South region of the 2014 NCAA Tournament.

by Robert Ferringo - 3/18/2014
I don't know if any region has as much boom-or-bust potential as the South Region of the NCAA Tournament. This bracket boasts four programs - Florida, Kansas, Ohio State and Syracuse - that have dominated March in recent seasons. Add in a traditional power like UCLA and a traditional spur like VCU, and the South is stacked with proven commodities. Read More >>

by Alan Matthews - 3/18/2014
We have three teams on winning streaks of at least 26 games heading into the 2014 NCAA Tournament, including an unbeaten club, yet why does it seem like perhaps the most wide-open Big Dance in years? Would it really shock you if No. 9 Oklahoma State, which has Final Four talent but also had a seven-game losing streak during the season, were to upset No. 1 Arizona in the Round of 32 and win the West Region?

2014 March Madness Predictions for Vulnerable High Seeds
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2014
Teams earn high seeds because of their work over an entire season. In some cases, what they are capable of at this moment isn't the same as what earned them that seeding. That could make things difficult for them in the opening weekend of the tournament - especially if they are up against a tough opponent. Here are six March Madness predictions for vulnerable high seeds for 2014 March Madness: Read More >>
2014 NCAA Tournament Handicapping: Best Value Bets
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2014
When it comes to March Madness, there are brackets and there is betting, and smart bettors realize that the two things are very different. When you are picking your brackets, you are looking for teams that you think have a good chance to win it all or at least to make a deep run. When you are betting tournament futures, on the other hand, you are looking for teams that could win, but more importantly, you are looking for situations in which the chances of a team winning are better than the odds suggest.

2014 NCAA Tournament Handicapping for Dangerous Lower Seeds
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2014
It's not hard to think of lower seeds that have become legends for the damage they have done over the years. There was Gonzaga back in the day. Or George Mason. Davidson. Butler. VCU. Wichita State. The list goes on and on. All of these teams went much further than anyone could have expected, but they were able to do it because they were talented, feisty and lucky - a potent combination at tournament time. The tournament wouldn't be the tournament without teams like that. Here are my 2014 NCAA Tournament picks for four that could potentially fill that role this year. Read More >>
NCAA Tournament Facts and Interesting Information
by Trevor Whenham - 3/18/2014
There are approximately 147,573,952,589,676,412,928 different possible brackets with a 68-team field. Only one will be correct. Warren Buffett has grabbed a lot of headlines for underwriting a $1 billion prize for a perfect bracket this year, but given the odds against it, it's the safest bet anyone has ever made. If every person on the planet were to fill out a random bracket, the odds would still be way over a billion to one against a perfect bracket. Buffett hasn't disclosed how much he is being paid to insure the payout, but he is basically stealing whatever amount it is. Read More >>
