The weekend before the NCAA Tournament always draws plenty of betting action, and Saturday, the public is riding with the favorites.
At William Hill U.S., Kansas, Michigan State and Kentucky are all getting more than 80 percent of bets, both in tickets and money count. Two underdogs getting some love are LSU and Seton Hall.
More picks: UNC-UVA | Kentucky-UGA | LSU-A&M | WVU-KU | SH-Nova | MSU-Maryland
The only games in which the ticket count favors one side but the money bet favors the other — sometimes an indication of sharp money — are San Diego State giving 4.5 to Fresno State and Montana -1.5 against Weber State.
