Well, what a first March Madness betting weekend….my pick to win is still in it (Memphis), while my pick to bow out early (Duke) ruined a perfect online betting day on Saturday. Here is a look at the top team over the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, as well as the biggest disappointment.

UConn had no problems with Chattanooga in a 103-47 romp, outrebounding the No.16 seed 57-33 as three of their players scored 20 points or more. Then the Huskies shot 57.9% and outrebounded Texas A&M 36-22 in a 92-66 thumping on Saturday. UConn covered the March Madness betting spreads easily, dominating their opponents on both ends of the floor, but the road will get tougher in the Sweet 16, where they’ll meet a tough Purdue team, and March Madness odds are giving the Huskies a 6.5-point spread in this contest.

Pittsburgh has been known as one of the great underachievers among March Madness betting players, and they proved why in wins over East Tennessee State and Oklahoma State. The Panthers had a 20.5-point line against ETSU, and had to overcome 18 turnovers to win by 10, then they just missed the 8.5-point spread against the Cowboys, winning by eight points. Next up is Xavier, and the Huskies are favored by seven points according to sportsbook odds, but they’ll have their hands full with the Muskateers, who are just as physical as the Panthers and have a great Tournament pedigree, so don’t be surprised by a March Madness betting upset.
