The NCAA Tournament officially gets underway on Tuesday night. No, it’s not the field of 64; no, your brackets are not impacted by what happens. But it’s still the Big Dance, and there will surely be a whole host of eyeballs on the First Four festivities — and probably a whole host of bets, too. We also have plenty of action in the NBA and NHL.
Let’s take a look at where the public money has gone so far on Tuesday.
NCAAB: Indiana Hoosiers -4 over Wyoming Cowboys
Bettors’ favorite play on today’s small college basketball slate is on Indiana to take care of business against Wyoming and earn a spot in the 64-team bracket. The Hoosiers are inspiring 85 percent of the money and 82 percent of the wagers to cover a -4 spread.
