The Best March Madness Bets to Make Now
The opening two rounds of the tourney were interesting for the Cougars. After a semi-convincing win over Northern Kentucky on Thursday, the NCAA title favorite found themselves facing a big deficit in their second round game against Auburn, trailing by 10 at halftime. Of course, they were able to rally and ended up putting together a dominant second half performance to win by 17 points, putting to bed any concerns of another No. 1 seed being bounced before the Sweet 16 after the eliminations of Kansas and Purdue.
