March 12 - Every March Madness NCAA College basketball tournament features at least one "Cinderella school" - an underdog team that surprises basketball handicappers and spoils a lot of brackets by going far at the Big dance. Who are the potential bracket buster schools this year? We asked MasterBets, a leading basketball handicapper at Mycapper.com, to give us some free March Madness 2006 underdog picks!
Last year a school like Vermont captured the hearts of college basketball fans, and in previous years Gonzaga were a perennial Cinderella school - now they're one of the powers in the game and have the best overall player at the entire NCAA Tournament in Adam Morrison.
So, exclusively for the benefit of Insider readers, here are the schools that could cover a few spreads as sports betting underdogs, and who might go on to wreak havoc in your March Madness bracket.
"College basketball fans know that #12 seeds historically do very well in the opening round against #5 seed teams," says MasterBets. "The reason for this is not voodoo numerology. A lot of #12 seeds are from small conferences and play very solid basketball, whereas #5 seeds tend to be vulnerable as they frequently come from the large conferences but are not quite at the elite level."
"This year, two lower-seed schools that stand out are San Diego State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Both might well end up as #12 or #11 seeds and could spring first-round upsets. Another underdog team to look out for is definitely Pacific, and these schools could all be good betting value if their first round matchups are favorable."
