Here are some of the NCAA basketball betting trends as they relate to this matchup:

* MARQ has covered 12 of its last 17 games

* MARQ has won five of its last six games SU

The SEC has always been known as a football conference, but few people realize the talent level of SEC squads on the hardwood as well.

Most SEC teams have very good athletes and explosive players, which makes for exciting, up-tempo games as well as a lot of upsets in the SEC Tournament, which has produced Cinderella teams in the past.

Texas Tech Red Raiders  +17½

Kansas Jayhawks   -17½ 

The Texas Tech Red Raiders knocked off the Colorado Buffalos and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament where the Kansas Jayhawks are waiting for them.  In their previous meeting back on January 16, the Jayhawks won 89-63 but they couldn’t cover the 21½-point spread.  The game tips off Thursday at 12:30 pm EST and can be seen on ESPN. 

While the State of California’s lesser-known college athletic programs don’t get a ton of attention or fanfare across the country, many of them are capable of competing at a high level, and they also have intense rivalries with similar schools from the state.

On March 10, the Mountain West Conference Tournament begins in Las Vegas when the ninth seed Air Force Falcons take on the eighth seed Wyoming Cowboys tip off at 5pm EST in the Thomas Mack Center.

This game features two also-rans in the MWC, the Cowboys are 10-20 on the season and the Falcons are 9-20. It’s a shame but one of these teams will win and advance in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Wednesday’s stacked CBB betting card closes out in the Anaheim Convention Center where the UC Irvine Anteaters and Cal Poly SLO Mustangs will square off for the third time this season.

UC Irvine finished up in seventh place within the Big West where they went 6-10 SU on the year. They did however close the regular season out with wins in two of their L/3 games with one of them being against the Mustangs in overtime last weekend.

With so many teams in the mix and so many talented squads on the biggest basketball stage in the world (Madison Square Garden), no NCAA Conference Tournament defines March Madness quite like the Big East does each year.

The Garden will be the site of several quality basketball games for both NCAA betting enthusiasts and fans alike this week and into the weekend, and it all kicks off tonight with quality games including Rutgers vs. Cincinnati tonight.

The NCAA Tournament is still as amazing as ever, but for many of the true college basketball enthusiasts and NCAA betting fans out there, the conference tournaments are just as exciting.

That's because the lesser-known teams play as hard and intense as anyone else out there because of the prospect of playing in the big dance as the ultimate Cinderella-type team.
