It has been a breath-taking start to the 2021 March Madness, but now there is an opportunity to sit back, and take stock of what is happening. After a blistering weekend, and start to the weekend, college basketball betting fans now have until this weekend to work out what is going to happen next.
If your bracket has fallen apart, don’t spend too much time worrying about that. There are always new games coming up, and this is the perfect time to familiarise yourself with the teams who will do battle this weekend.
There were some interesting scores on Monday in the Round of 32, but of course, betting on the 2021 NCAA Tournament has been intriguing from the start.
The Monday Round of 32 games finished as follows:
- Oregon 95 vs. Iowa 80
- Gonzaga 87 vs. Oklahoma 71
- UCLA 67 vs. Abilene Christian 47
- Creighton 72 vs. Ohio 58
- Michigan 86 vs. LSU 78
- Florida State 71 vs. Colorado 53
- Alabama 96 vs. Maryland 77
- USC 85 vs. Kansas 51
There has already been upsets in this year’s tournament but when Gonzaga were trailing by 8 points, a lot of people sat up and paid attention. The same can be said for Michigan who were also in a precarious position.
In the end, both these teams cruised home comfortably, but they received enough of a shock to jolt them into life.
