LSU Tigers vs. Arkansas Razorbacks odds and best bet

Hot take time. Arkansas will go further than any other SEC team in the NCAA Tournament! Maybe that is not such a hot take given their success last season and the fact that they are the hottest team in the league right now.

Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks odds and best bet

Miami is a perfect 3-0 since the All-Star break. I am still not sure of the ceiling of this group, but it is clear that if the 76ers, Nets or Bucks want the top spot in the East they are going to have to take it from Miami.

Villanova Wildcats vs. Connecticut Huskies odds and best bet

Villanova is considered to be the best team in the conference, but they are going to have to keep winning to make their game against Providence meaningful next weekend.

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes odds and best bet
