NCAA Tournament Saturday second-round opening point spreads image

The second round of the NCAA Tournament gets underway Saturday, and as of Friday morning, most books had released spreads on the games.

There aren't any huge surprises. On the surface, the Wichita State-Miami line looks suspect because of the seeding, but the Shockers' power rating is several points higher than the Hurricanes. Both underdogs who won outright on Thursday are still getting points, with Yale at +6 against Duke and Little Rock at +6.5 vs. Iowa State.

These numbers can often change early as bettors hit the market hard when they like a number, so if there's anything you really like, be sure to get it in while the odds are still favorable.
