BEST BETS FOR ROUND ONE
Our guy Coleman Crawley also put together some CBB betting thoughts for the Friday and Saturday action!
Ohio +7.5 vs. Virginia
“This is the best offensive automatic qualifier that’s a 12-seed or worse and it isn’t close. They are 29th in the country in offensive efficiency. Meanwhile Virginia is not the defensive team we’ve seen in the past where they have been top 7 in the country for seven straight seasons.” READ MORE

NICOLE’S KNOWLEDGE NUGGET
We’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes lately to make LineupHQ more user-friendly. All player data loads by slate now, which is why you may see a delay when you switch from one slate to another (but we’re working on making that faster).
Saving all build settings by slate is almost ready for release. This will allow us to roll out single-game-specific features in the coming months.
