Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Best Bets:
After our first non-winning day in a couple weeks on Tuesday, we bounced back with another 2-1 profitable night in college basketball, thanks to my T Shoe Index. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see TSI so dialed in at just the right time heading into March Madness. I appreciate all of the kind messages and mentions letting me know how TSI has helped make your handicapping process sharper and more profitable. As Kobe said, though, “Job’s not finished”, so we are back for more with a nice slate of games on both the men’s and women’s side.
Reminder on how to read the projections: If the spread is a positive number, that indicates the team on the left (Home, unless neutral site) is favored by TSI. If the spread is a negative, that indicates the team on the right (Away, unless neutral side) is favored by TSI. TSI total is the projected number of combined points in the game.
Here are today’s projections:
