Houston, we have a problem.
And it's Duke. Purdue has no such problems, with anyone at the moment.
Today is Saturday, March 30th.
It’s a massive day in the wagering world, especially horse racing. Dubai World Cup card starts at 8am, and then action across the country the rest of the day including the Florida Derby and Arkansas Derby, important preps for the upcoming Kentucky Derby.

South Carolina barely survived, and they've been due for a loss for some time now, it may not come but they are so overvalued in the market now anyway that you can keep just taking the points. They have no reason for margin either, they need to keep winning to make history. Texas looks strong, the odds are shortening. Stanford went down, as NC State continues to play extremely well in this tournament. Notre Dame fell to Oregon State as well. There are more games on Saturday, UCLA was +3.5 but that is now gone mostly, I lean in that direction. Iowa is so overvalued, and the media surrounding this team is incredible, it's so much pressure for college kids, I think it comes to an end sooner than later but they might make it through this one. USC is interesting, the biggest price of the teams left that can probably win. Uconn are giant favorites to advance vs Duke in the late game.

SATURDAY
609 PM EST ILLINOIS VS UCONN -8.5 (-120) O/U 154.5
Illinois is good, but UConn is destroying teams by 30+ now apparently. It seems like too many points, I make it around -5.5, so +8.5 is plenty but I could have gotten +9.5 and still may be able to by tip-off, so pass for now, but will play if it goes back to +9 or +9.5.
849 PM EST CLEMSON VS ALABAMA -3.5 (-104) O/U 164.5
I make this around -4.5, but I think we were a little fortunate to get by UNC, and they play zero defense whatsoever, so laying -3.5 isn't something that interests me.
SUNDAY
220 PM EST TENNESSEE VS PURDUE -3.5 (-105) O/U 147.5
I will pass.
505 PM EST NC STATE VS DUKE -5.5 (-120) O/U 142.5
Nothing for me in this one either.
HIGH ON: Days like today in horse racing. Dubai, Aqueduct, Gulfstream, Oaklawn, etc... non-stop action all day and night.
low on: SOUTH CAROLINA survived a scare as -17.5 point favorites as they led by 2 with under a minute left without the ball. Their odds then went to -210 after the win yesterday, if you still want to play against them.
BETTING NUGGET OF THE DAY: Florida Derby winners have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby 15 times. UAE Derby winners have never won the Kentucky Derby.
