We are almost there. Last night we finally saw the bracket and now it's show time. I am going to break down each of the 68 teams in the field in order of overall seed according to the committee. I am going to give you each teams overall record against the spread (ATS), as well as their ATS records as a favorite and an underdog this season. I will do the same for each team's over/under (O/U) record.
I understand the tournament is a different animal than the regular season so it is not 100% applicable. Also, for some of the lower rated teams you are more likely to look at their underdog records because those will show the games they may have played early in the season against better teams in non-conference games. Not in conference games where most of them were always favorites.
But it still is good to know how each team responds in each situation. Let's do it.
