Duke's Shocking Win, Injuries Impact Top Teams

0:00On March 20, Duke, the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament barely advanced past 16 seed Siena with a 71-65 win. Nobody saw that coming from the Blue Devils who failed to cover the massive 28-and-a-half point spread and look far more vulnerable than expected. Other top teams had their own close calls too. Michigan won by 21 but didn't cover against the lower seed while St. Louis impressed with a blowout over Georgia. Fans are playing a role already, like Louisville missing key guard Michael Brown Jr. heading into a tough match-up. Fans and odds-makers are buzzing about potential upsets. Duke faces TCU, where the horn frogs are getting 11-and-a-half points amid the Blue Devils injury woes. Michigan State looks strong over Louisville by 4-and-a-half, thanks to their star-point guard. Houston should handle Texas A&M by 10-and-a-half after dominating their opener and Vanderbilt edges Nebraska by 1-and-a-half, despite the seeding flip.

1:00Texas and BCU could keep it close as underdogs against Gonzaga and Illinois. These gains on Saturday promise more drama, with spread showing just how unpredictable the tournament can get early on.
