Day: March 13, 2026

College basketball tournaments continue today and you have your mix of Power 5 teams playing along with some mid-majors.

What is the best strategy this late in the season? Some people will say bet on the teams that have double-byes, because they are playing teams that have played two or three straight games in three nights. That’s not a bad idea, but it doesn’t always work if teams have good depth or they’re relying on motivation. 

You also have great teams like Duke, who are dealing with major injuries and don’t have a lot of motivation to advance. What really matters at this stage is defense and rebounding. Teams that are tired will struggle to shoot the ball, but if they can rebound and defend, that can keep them in these games as a dog. Team Rankings is a good site to find out about metrics for both stats. KenPom is another site that focuses on Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. 

There are some teams that are still on the bubble in these bigger conferences and they desperately need wins, so they are treating these games as elimination games. Nobody wants to play in the NIT.

When you’re getting ready to pick games (ATS) for March Madness, remember a few things in the last three days of the Conference Tournaments. 

1)A team can enter the tournament having won three or four straight games, capturing its conference titles. Does that automatically mean they are the team to bet on? Teams that play on Sunday’s championship games have to fly back later that night. They don’t know their opponent until late Sunday night and they have a day or two to practice.  The fresher teams are the ones that lost earlier in their conference tournaments. They may not have the momentum, but they can rest injured players, and a few days off can help as they prepare for March Madness.

2)The top seeds usually get benefits. That means easier early-round opponents and tournament locations that are closer to home. There is a better path to the Final Four so getting a No. 1 or 2 seed is extremely important.

3)Teams that lose in the conference title game can be undervalued. Power 5 teams are 46-34-2 ATS in the first round after losing the conference title game. Fading conference tournament winners in the first round due to mental and physical fatigue is not a bad idea.

4)Teams that were on the bubble and had deep conference tournament runs are usually figuring things out. They can be very dangerous 9-12 seeds as they have a lot of momentum and confidence heading to the Big Dance.
