After a long and unpredictable college basketball season, March Madness has certainly lived up to its name thus far. We’re on to round 2 of the action, and what a tournament it has been! We’ve seen massive upsets on both sides of the bracket, to go along with a few near buzzer-beaters, wild comebacks, improbable meltdowns and everything in between.'
With the first three days of the tournament in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn to my best bets for Sunday’s Round of 32 action on the hardwood. Also, be sure to keep an eye on our March Madness picks for all the content you need to get you primed for all of the games.
James Madison Dukes +7.5 vs Duke Blue Devils (-110)
One of my best bets of the opening round was James Madison to not only cover the spread against Wisconsin, but win the game outright. The Dukes did just that and did so in dominant fashion, taking an early lead and never looking back en route to a convincing victory. And while Duke is a more complete offense with floor-spacers at the guard position in Jared McCain and Tyrese Proctor, my faith in James Madison hasn’t wavered and there are clear paths to success for the Dukes in this matchup.
