2024 March Madness Betting Odds: Worth Betting On after 2nd Round Sweet 16 Underdogs | College Basketball Betting Analysis of the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament

2024 March Madness | 85th edition of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament
Sweet 16: Thursday, March 28th – Friday, March 29th, 2024

 

Illinois Fighting Illini

There is not a hotter team on the offensive side of the basketball right now than the Fighting Illini. Brad Underwood has his team playing red hot basketball. The Illini beat Ohio State, Nebraska and Wisconsin in the Big Ten Tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, they have wins over Morehead State and Duquesne. The Illini have scored 85+ points in each of their last four games. On the season now, the Orange and Blue are scoring 84.6 per game. Terrence Shannon Jr has been red hot. After scoring 25 at Iowa on March 10th, he has gone 28, 40, 34, 26 and 30 over his last five games. He is playing like one of the best players in all of College Basketball. Marcus Domask has been a big help, as he went for 26 against Wisconsin, recorded a triple double against Morehead State, and added 22 in the win over Duquesne. The Illini get Iowa State, another hot team, but the Cyclones are going to struggle to keep up the pace with Illinois.

NC State Wolf Pack

The North Carolina State Wolfpack were not going to make the NCAA Tournament. Then, they won five games in five days, including wins over Duke, Virginia and North Carolina, to win the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. In the big dance, the Wolf Pack grabbed an 11 seed, and upset Texas Tech, and then took down Oakland. Now, they get a tough task of slowing down Shaka Smart, Tyler Kolek and the Marquette Golden Eagles. Big man DJ Burns has been outstanding. Over his last four games, he is scoring just shy of 20 points per game. Burns ripped down 11 rebounds in the win over Oakland, and played a game high 42 minutes. DJ Horne is the leading scorer for the Wolf Pack. He made his name known in the win over North Carolina, with 29. This is a team that is playing with a ton of confidence. If the Golden Eagles turn the ball over, the Wolf Pack will make them pay.

Clemson Tigers

Wins over New Mexico and Baylor, and now the Tigers are two wins away from the Final Four. Clemson has scored 74.5 points per game during the tournament, and on the defensive side, allowed just 60 per game. The top score for the Tigers has been P.J. Hall, with 18.5 per game, but Joseph Girard has been really solid as well, with 15.3 per game.
