March Madness Review By Ron Jumper With the NCAA Tournament over, I felt the need to reflect over what took place. This was a unique tournament, as it didn’t offer any Cinderella teams to fall in love with but it did allow for us to watch some real heavyweight matchups. That being said, those heavyweight matchups didn’t offer a lot of down to the wire finishes as all 3 Final Four games were decided by 7 points or more. I would have to say this tournament didn’t meet the usual standards that March Madness has, which I have to admit are very high. However, if it didn’t have those high standards it wouldn’t be considered the best annual sporting event in the world. From a handicapping perspective, it was a tough tournament to bet on for a couple of reasons. First of all, there were no upsets when there were games where an upset was all but certain to occur. Secondly, the favorites won regularly but they rarely covered the spread. That combination made it very tough to predict outcomes. Here is a round-by-round breakdown… Final NCAA Tournament Record: 20-14-1 ATS (59%) First Round: 7-2-1 ATS (78%) Second Round: 3-7 ATS (30%) Sweet 16: 5-3 ATS (63%) Elite 8: 3-1 ATS (75%) Final Four: 2-1 ATS (67%) You will notice that I was 17-7-1 ATS if you take away the second round, those were 2 very frustrating days for yours truly. Of my 7 losses in Round 2, I had 4 by 3 points or less. In my opinion, if you can pick games you should have a “good” tournament but there are going to be a lot of games that are very close. It depends on whether you catch a few breaks along the way in order for you to have a “great” tournament. As for me, I was 4-6-1 ATS in games within 3 points or less of the spread. Not catching a couple of breaks along the way cost me a little bit, as I just needed one more win to reach my goal of the 60% mark. None the less, it was still a good tournament.
