Miami (Ohio) team total over 68.5
Miami (Ohio) vs Tennessee — NCAA Tournament First Round · You Better You Bet, 2026-03-20 · ·

“Beyond that, Miami's team total over 68-and-a-half. Do you realize, Nick, Miami has not scored under 73 in any game this year? they still can make shots. And even though Tennessee's defense is very, very good, I would be, look, there's no way Miami covers the game if they don't get to 70. Because I don't know if their defense is going to stop Tennessee from scoring to 80 here. So I would look at Miami's team total over 68.5.”

Tennessee 78, Miami (Ohio) 56 — Miami (Ohio) scored just 56 points in a 78-56 loss to Tennessee, well under its 68.5 team-total line (ESPN). (Miami (Ohio) 56 points)

Duke team total over 75.5
TCU vs Duke — NCAA Tournament Second Round · You Better You Bet, 2026-03-20 · ·

“Duke, 11 and a half. Yes. Forget the spread, Nick. Duke's team total over 75.5. Do you realize that Duke shot their fourth worst percentage on the season and worst three-point percentage shooting of the year in the game against Siena? Their offense will regress to the mean. This defense for TCU won't be able to keep up. I don't want to worry about the spread and what Duke is going to have to do to cover a big number. Give me their team total over 75.5.”

Duke 81, TCU 58 — Duke scored 81 points in an 81-58 win over TCU, clearing its 75.5 team-total line (ESPN). (Duke 81 points)

Michigan State -3.5
Louisville vs Michigan State — NCAA Tournament Second Round · You Better You Bet, 2026-03-20 · ·

“michigan state minus three and a half shop around get the best number why look louisville was lucky to even hang on to win that game i don think that michigan state um offense is going to shoot the same as it did in the first game but their defense will hold up Every time Louisville this year has played a team that ranked in the top 20 in adjusted defensive efficiency they lost with the exception of one game earlier this year against Cincinnati whose offense is god-awful. Michigan State's defense will do all they need to do here. Lay the points for Michigan State.”

Michigan State 77, Louisville 69 — Michigan State beat Louisville 77-69 in the NCAA Tournament second round, covering -3.5 by winning by 8 (ESPN).
