March Madness Bet East Region Preview at Sports Gambling

March Madness bet fans heard plenty on the CBS selection show about top seeded Pittsburgh for the March Madness schedule.

March Madness bet fans should also consider 2-Duke, 3-Villanova, and 4-Xavier on the east March Madness schedule. Pitt was touted on CBS to be the March Madness bet favorite to win it all.

The Panthers are one of three teams from the Big East conference to be a number one seed and will play East Tennessee State in the first round of the March Madness schedule. Duke is a perennial favorite of March Madness bet fans and enters action with plenty of momentum as they won the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

The Blue Devils have not been a good March Madness bet value the past few seasons and will be highly motivated to get back on track. Their first March Madness bet opponent will be Binghamton. Villanova will play at home in Philadelphia with a first round March Madness bet matchup against American.

Coach Jay Wright’s Wildcats performed well in the 2008 March Madness schedule and were mentioned on the CBS selection show as a good sleeper to consider. Xavier from the Atlantic 10 is another team with plenty of March Madness bet experience and they will face Portland State in the opening round.

The other east region March Madness bet pairings are 8-Oklahoma State/9-Tennessee, 5-Florida State/12-Wisconsin, 6-UCLA/11-VCU, and 7-Texas/10-Minnesota. That Oklahoma State/Tennessee March Madness bet matchup looks to be one of the most even in the first round.

Oklahoma State closed strong while Tennessee did not, but the Vols have a lot of experience “dancing” under coach Bruce Pearl. Tubby Smith of Minnesota takes his fourth team “dancing” and their matchup with Texas also looks to be one of the best on the March Madness bet board.

Texas could be a quiet team that does damage this year. Many people felt that Wisconsin had no business making the “Big Dance” but they may catch Florida State on a downer after their loss to Duke in the ACC tournament title game. UCLA/Villanova looks like an outstanding second round possibility.
