The College Basketball Blog: 2012 NCAA Tournament Recap/Wrap-up/Breakdown Part VI (Underdog Covers)

(VI) Underdog Covers: Notes

Note 1: These are wins ATS by underdogs. Obviously some of these teams beat the spread but didn’t win the game straight up.

Note 2: The number in parenthesis is the number by which the team beat the spread, not the spread itself.

Note 3: Again, I have listed the number of wins ATS by underdogs for each round. In the “total” section the number to the left of the team name indicates the round.
