2008 March Madness Betting Tips
Friday, March 7th, 2008
Memphis, UCLA, Tennessee, North Carolina and Duke are the teams to beat at this point of the season.
As the 2008 NCAA college basketball regular season winds down and conference tournaments tip off, North Carolina, Memphis, UCLA, Tennessee, Kansas, Duke, Stanford, Xavier, Texas and Wisconsin became the top ten teams this year and it looks like there will be no easy picks.
Most of these teams have very long standing traditions specifically in basketball. With this being said then we know how much hard work goes in and out of these schools gyms.
One of the most impressive players this year comes from Kansas State in the name of Michael Beasley. A player averaging 12.6 Rebounds, 26.7 Points, 1.6 Steals and 1.4 blocks a game who by far has the potential to be dominant in the professional league as well.
Not far behind is Tyler Hansbrough from North Carolina averaging 10.4 rebounds, 1.6 Steals and 23.4 points a contest. Not to shabby on his 2nd year at the helm of the Tar Heels. Being next in voting to J.J. Redick last year for the ACC player of the year has to bring pressure this time around, naturally Tyler is taking it head on.
Another impressive year as usual and kudos to one of the best coaches in basketball history is Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. Another year and another team rich in teamwork and fast paced offensive dominance. The team embracing the 3-point shot this year is another marvel. Add to the fact that Cameron Indoor Stadium is one of the…
George Mason and their surprising March Madness saga
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
Can this Cinderella team of 2006 shock all of us again?
With merely a few more days before the 2008 March Madness bracket tournament begin, we remember the George Mason Patriots and their climb towards the NCAA Final Four two years ago.
The George Mason Patriots shocked the rest of the world, LITERALLY, in 2006 when they went all the way to the NCAA Final Four. Although they lost to the Florida Gators that year, their Final Four stint instantly let them become ‘’superstars’’ of their own campus.
This year though, the George Mason Patriots are 20-9 and are ranked 72nd. As expected, all that fanfare they generated a couple of years ago died down a bit and for some reason, this particular Patriot, one of two remaining starters from the fabled George Mason Final Four team, likes it just the way it is.
Patriots forward Will Thomas, two years ago, would always have a pen beside his plate ready to sign autographs whenever he dines at the campus cafeteria for the fans their team generated in…
Sportsbetting.com picks their favorites for March Madness
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
With 9-2 odds to win it all this 2008 NCAA college basketball season, the Kansas Jayhawks join the UCLA Bruins as the teams to beat in the coming madness this March. That’s according to the folks who work with Sportsbetting.com.
The Kansas Jayhawks are ranked 4th in the AP Top 25 polls, while the UCLA Bruins sit at No.6 overall with a 22-3 record. Of course, we have more than enough of college hoops left until March Madness so don’t expect those rankings to remain the way it is at this point of the season.
As far as the team at the top is concerned, the Memphis Tigers still remain unbeaten with an incredible 25-0 record. However, we’re not expecting those guys to remain perfect.
The Tennessee Volunteers sit behind the No.1 Tigers with a 23-2 record. Can they keep this up ’til March Madness? Um… Probably not.
Perhaps the biggest rivalry in all of college hoops is being relived this season with both the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils doing so well to own the No.3 and No.5 spots, respectively.
