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

(V) Favorite Covers: Notes

Note 1: These are wins ATS by favorites.

Note 2: The number in parenthesis is the number by which the team beat the spread, not the spread itself. In other words, if Maryland was favored by 1 and they won by 3 the number in parenthesis would be +2.

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