#7 Texas Longhorns Vs #2 Tennessee Volunteers – 2024 March Madness Betting Lines and Predictions

MyBookie NCAAB | Online College Basketball Betting

There are a lot of great things to love about March Madness, but the one that perhaps appeals to me the most is that we get to see matchups that never usually happen. While it certainly makes it a little trickier to handicap those types of games, it’s still fun to see teams go head-to-head after never meeting before in the pat. That is where we are at with the Round 2 matchup between the Dayton Flyers and the Arizona Wildcats, with this game being the first time that they will have ever locked horns. Of course, you would expect the higher seed to move on, but as we saw on the opening day of the tournament, you must never take anything for granted. Still, Arizona is in as a 9 ½ point favorite for this one, with the point total set at 149 ½. Let’s take a closer look to see how this one might play out.

Why bet on the Dayton Flyers

When it comes to the tournament, every team involved would love to go in on a great run of form. We have seen it countless times before where a hot team goes on a deep run, but that is not what happened to Dayton this season. Including the conference tournament, Dayton came into March Madness on a run that had seen them go 6-4 SU in their last 10. Even as the much higher seeded team, the bookies were not sold on them in their opening round game against Nevada, but they did manage to cover the spread in a 63-60 win, but this figures to be a much more difficult task. With that cover, the Flyers are now 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games. They closed out the regular season with 6 straight games going over, but the UNDER has hit in their last 2, both of which were tournament games.

Why bet on the Arizona Wildcats

It was something of a disappointing end to the regular season for the Arizona Wildcats. They ended the regular season as the PAC-12 Champions, but they went on to lose to Oregon in the Conference Tournament. Even with that, they are now still 7-3 SU over their last 10 games, which includes an 85-65 win over LBSU in the opening round of March Madness. They were a 20-point favorite in their opening game, so that one ended as a push. In their last 10 games overall, the Wildcats are 5-3-2 against the spread, so not what you would call totally convincing. In terms of the point total, their last 3 games have all been tournament games and they have all gone UNDER the total. Over the course of their 31 games this season, they are 16-15 O/U.
