March Madness Round of 32 betting action includes Kentucky on odds slate


No. 1 Kentucky continues its push towards perfection on Saturday against Cincinnati in one of the Round of 32's many interesting matchups.


The No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats are 10-0 SU and 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a double-digit favorite. The Wildcats will look to continue their dominance on Saturday in the Round of 32 against No. 9 Cincinnati.



Kentucky is a 16.5-point favorite according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Many of the trends in this one point to the Wildcats; Cincinnati is just 2-6 ATS as a double-digit underdog since 2008 and 2-8 ATS in the Round of 32 since 1997.



In addition to being dominant as a double-digit favorite, Kentucky is also 11-5 ATS in its last 16 appearances in the Round of 32.



No. 14 UAB vs. No. 11 UCLA will mark just the third time since 1996 that a No. 11 seed has met a No. 14 seed in the NCAA Tournament. In each of the last two No. 11 vs. No 14 matchups, the No. 11 seed cruised to an easy win and cover.



UCLA is 11-3 ATS over its last 14 games but just 1-5 ATS in its last six Round of 32 appearances. UAB is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games as an underdog and 6-1 SU in its last seven as a dog.



No. 4 North Carolina is a 4.5-point favorite over No. 5 Arkansas for Saturday on the March Madness betting lines. The last time these two teams met in the NCAA Tournament in 2008, UNC crushed Arkansas 108-77. The Tar Heels are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall and No. 4 seeds are 7-1 SU and ATS in their last eight games against No. 5 seeds.



No. 3 Notre Dame vs. No. 6 Butler could be a game in which points are hard to come by. The UNDER is 13-3 over Butler's last 16 games as an underdog, and the Bulldogs also played to nine straight UNDER results to end the season.



Notre Dame is just 1-4 SU in its last five trips to the Round of 32.
